What Causes Very Low Iron Level In Blood?
For the last year and a half I have had a problem with my body absorbing iron. I had to have a blood transfusion because my hemoglobin dropped to 5. I then went to get a colonosctomy and then to a hematologist. I go once a month for blood work and I get iron IV s. Is this common?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and I could say that if the hemoglobin becomes low and iron deficiency is there it means some blood disorder would be the likely cause and anemia need to be ruled out, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
