A member asked:
Should i consult a hematologist for thalassemia minor? am asymptomatic at least thats what i think?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How do you know you have thalassemia minor? Is it based on blood testing? Are you anemic? I would pose these questions to your local family doctor who should be able to help you figure out next steps, including whether hematology referral is indicated.
