Anemia: Correctly diagnosing the cause of chronic anemia requires a detailed medical history, and numerous laboratory tests may also be necessary. Rarely a bone marrow exam and/or genetic testing may be needed. See a hematologist.

Need to look at the: cause since anemia is a broad topic that can range from iron deficiency to chronic disease. What are your other medical conditions, history, surgical, social, sexual histories too.What supplements have you used? What type of anemia do you have? All these factors make a difference why you've had it.How are your periods? All these questions will help answer your question. May be time to see your Dr!
