Suggest Treatment For Low Iron Saturation Levels.
I have had very low results for the past year of my Iron Saturation levels in my bloodwork results. I have been experiencing chronic fatigue, joint pain, headaches and menstrual like cramps but with no actual period. I am worried about how bad I feel and want to know what to do. I take a multivitamin everyday but still continue to have this issue.

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that low iron saturation and low hemoglobin is common in menstruating women. you should start iron therapy. As you mentioned you have very low iron saturation I advice you to take injectable iron therapy initially and once you achieve the sufficient level switch to the oral therapy. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
