KerryTR73 Asked : After weeks of feeling weak and tired and a couple of fainting spells, I discovered that I am severely anemic. I used to have anemia when I was in my teens and twenties but this stopped after having 2 kids and going on the injection. My doctor now tells me that he wants to do an endoscope and colon check to investigate the cause of the anemia. Why is this necessary because many women that I know have anemia and it is usually not a problem? My doctor says that my anemia could be more serious and I am losing blood from somewhere since I do not menstruate. I am so tired of all these tests and I am wondering if it is necessary or should I just be on iron supplements?
