Anemia Due to Excessive Bleeding
Treatment
Stopping bleeding Usually iron supplements For large or rapid blood loss, the source of bleeding must be found and the bleeding stopped. Red blood cells may be needed. With slow or small blood loss, the body may produce enough red blood cells to correct the anemia without the need for blood transfusions once the bleeding is stopped. Because iron, which is required to produce red blood cells, is lost as a result of bleeding, most people who have anemia due to bleeding need to take iron supplements, usually tablets, for several months. Sometimes people are given iron intravenously.
