<s>[INST]iam 36 and short iam always found with a low HB like 8, 7 and 6. i never had 10 up. iam not frequiently sick, i have never been hospitalised what is the cause? i take iron foods such as eggs and so forth. so what is the cause of my low HB all the time[/INST]Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Yu need to get certain investigations to know the cause of low hemoglobin. A complete hologram and peripheral blood smear examination are the basic investigations required. Low hemoglobin can occur due to three main causes-blood loss, decreased blood production and increased red blood cell destruction. Once the cause of low hemoglobin is known, appropriate management can be planned. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. </s>
