A member asked:
What are problems with untreated, iron deficiency, anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Your hemoglobin will go down, and you will end up requiring blood transfusions. Usually there is an underlying problem causing the anemia (most commonly from the intestines or the bone marrow), and this needs to be sorted out.
