If these symptoms are present, it is recommended to consult a therapist and monitor hemoglobin, red blood cell levels, iron, ferritin and transferrin.” , – added Malinovskaya.
The doctor says that when anemia is confirmed, it is necessary to change the diet and take preparations containing iron or vitamins B9 and B12:
