A member asked:
Is iron-deficient anemia curable or just treatable? once a patient is diagnosed with it, can they be un-diagnosed? can it go away for good? yes or no?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find the cause : Once the cause (heavy monthly loss, bleeding ulcer, cancer, ill-advised vegetarianism, hookworm, others) is identified and addressed, replacing the iron solves the problem.
