Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has anemia. It may be due to iron deficiency or may be due to vitamin B12 deficiency or other causes. She should not take any drugs without proper diagnosis. She should go for complete blood count and peripheral smear examination and anemia profile. Then she should take treatment according to diagnosis. Small ovarian cyst can left as such. More large cyst surgery is the only treatment.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Orofer XT can be taken to improve hemoglobin level. Its safe.
2. Additionally Vit B12 therapy is necessary.
3. Initially until it reaches 11-12 g%, twice a day therapy will be helpful. Later one, one per day is adequate.
4. Get a reticulocyte count after 2 weeks, to check bone marrow response. It should show improvement.
5. For ovarian cyst, ultrasound guided puncture is usually done. Not to worry. Avoid stress, control of weight and low fat diet is necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
