A member asked:
Is a hematologist visit needed for anemia related to blood loss? my gastroenterologist says to take iron pills for 3 months & do more blood tests then

Not necessarily: If your anemia has been determined to be caused by blood loss, there is probably no need to see a hematologist. If the anemia persists despite iron treatment (and preventing further blood loss), then a hematologist consultation might be indicated.
