Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your wife's haemoglobin is in low levels. In these levels iron injections are prescribed. If that is not helping then blood transfusion also will be needed. Injections can be given weekly once or as decided by your treating doctor. Primary cause for her anaemia ( low haemoglobin) should be find out. Mostly uterine myoma can give such problem in this age. So a gynecologic examination and ultrasound of pelvis should be done to rule out this. In that case myomectomy should be considered also.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
