I am a 24 y/o female, 109lbs. i had a blood test done and my hemoglobin level was 116 (low) what does this mean? how can this be fixed? will i be okay?

Anemic: This means that you are mildly anemic. The most common cause of anemia in young women is iron deficiency due to menstrual blood loss and/or recent pregnancy/delivery of a child. If iron deficiency is found to be the cause of anemia, iron supplementation should correct the problem.
