How to improve my serum iron level?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Based on your query and reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), my opinion is as follows:

1. Serum iron has improved and is almost near normal. The body is using up iron to prepare RBC (red blood cell) and in other activities. Hence, improvement of serum iron will take longer.
2. The hemoglobin is almost near normal limits and once it goes above 13 g%, the serum iron will improve.
3. Vitamin D is still less and requires fat in the diet along with sun exposure.
4. Difficult to comment about bruises or increased bleeding, as platelet count is not in the attached report. Platelet count and if possible an image of the bruise would be more helpful.
5. Hair fall, the usual principal cause is malnutrition. You need to increase the protein in the diet. Also, dry skin could be due to low hydration. You need to take at least 25 to 33 cups of water per day to improve hydration.
6. Also, do let me know, if any trichologist has evaluated hair fall and found any cause such as dandruff, any infections, allergic reactions to hair gels, etc.
7. Increased bleeding during periods can cause weakness. This can occasionally lead to dizziness. These abnormal menstrual cycles will require an endometrial biopsy.
