Brief Answer:
Iron supplements+ Thyroxine
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thanks for your follow up query.
1. The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to decreased
hemoglobin concentration (anemia) resulting in reduced oxygen supply to the tissues.
2. Reduced iron content points the diagnosis towards
Iron deficiency anemia. The reasons for low iron can either be low iron intake in diet, poor absorption of iron in the gastrointestinal tract or increased excretion of iron from body.
3. Anemia with hemoglobin levels 10 can be managed with supplemental iron preparations, iron injections & intake of foods rich in iron content & Vitamin C. Kindly consult your General Physician and discuss regarding this.
4. Iron deficiency anemia is common in people with
hypothyroidism as Thyroid hormone is needed for iron
metabolism & blood formation. Under such circumstances, management involves combination of thyroid supplement (Thyroxine)+ Iron supplements.
5. Presence of blood in urine can be indicative of infection/ inflammation in the Kidneys or
Urinary tract. It will be better to consult an
Urologist for proper clinical examination & further management.
6. Maintain proper hydration & nutrition status, avoid stress & get good sleep.
7. Ethyroxane (thyroid hormone supplement) takes care of the hypothyroidism &
glucophage (pharmacologically Metformin) regulates the blood sugar levels. Please continue them as advised by your Doctor & keep regular check on the levels of Hemoglobin, Thyroid profile & blood sugar levels.
8. It is appreciable to know that you are not indulged in any habits. Take good care of your health.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Hope I have been able to clarify your doubts.
Regards.
Dr. Polash Sannigrahi
