Hi, there are many causes for low iron. It may be due to diet deficiency of iron, or may be due to increase demands and your body can not cope up with that increase demand. You may have some chronic bleeding from external or hidden site. It may lead to iron deficiency. You should go to find the cause. Go for PS examination and if needed go for USG. First try to find the cause and then take treatment accordingly. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.
