About "Hematology"
A Hematologist is a doctor concerned with diseases related to blood and blood-forming organs. They deal with a wide variety of diseases like blood cancer, bleeding disorders (hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, etc.), autoimmune diseases, genetic conditions involving blood, anemia, etc.
If you have been referred to them it means there is some abnormality with the blood. The Hematologist will do certain tests with respect to your medical and personal histories and present symptoms like hematocrit, bleeding time, microscopic studies, etc., to diagnose the pathology. Once the diagnosis is confirmed they will treat you accordingly which may range from a balanced diet, medicines to stem cell transplant or blood transfusion or clotting factors administration, and much more.
With the advancements in technology, it has become easier than before to consult a hematologist online to help you with the queries. You can attach your reports, write in detail about the problem and add images to get the diagnosis and treatment plan.
