Need evaluation: Loss of blood implies bleeding somewhere-likeliest sources are gut, urinary system, gyn; less common can be lungs, or behind abdomen (retroperitoneal). Other causes for low blood count can include bone marrow issues. Need thorough and systematic evaluation soon. May need colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, capsule endo (small bowel), cystoscopy (bladder), ct, bone marrow exam, or other. See your doc.
