A member asked:

Tested mildly anemic when should i retest as my periods are now under control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Brouwer answered

Anemia: If your cause of anemia was iron deficiency, then it may improve with iron supplements and reduced bleeding with menstruation. You can check a CBC and iron panel.
