A member asked:
If my low iron was caused by bleeding hemorrhoids, then changed diet, now no bleeding- could that help iron levels? (yes, im seeing a doc)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: To replenish your body store of iron you may wish to take an oral iron supplement with a multivitamin. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
