A member asked:

Would internal bleeding episode affect iron significantly? had some petechiae in my legs. but an iron of 20 still seems crazy.they never repeated test

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check with doctor: Low iron in a young man suggests blood loss - bleeding, donation, accident/injury. Stomach, intestine, rectum is a common source. Might be serious. Follow up is needed. Don't just take iron, find out why it is low.
