I need some female advice/help. And or anyone in the medical field.
I will be 50 in Jan. Perimenopausal since 2016. I have a hemoglobin of 7.8. Iron is 12. It was 8.4 3 weeks ago. I have severe bleeding- sometimes lasting 30-40 days.
I met with a gynecological surgeon yesterday. I do not want a hysterectomy nor am I a candidate
I had open heart surgery in 2016 for an aortic aneurysm and currently have an aortic root aneurysm that measures 4.65. The surgeon told me yesterday that if I were to need a second emergency open heart surgery that with my anemia this bad that I would not be able to handle surgery and would die. Her biggest concern is getting my iron up. And bleeding to stop.
They want me to do iron infusions and get an IUD
I have horrible reactions to most "drugs" and take nothing. Not an ibuprofen. Not even natural etc. I'm afraid to try beef liver pills.
I dont do chemicals, no deodorant, only natural shampoos cleaners etc
I am terrified to get an IUD
I need help
I'll definitely keep you in my prayers!! If I were you, I would stay away from a foreign object in my body, seems to me it would cause more trauma than healing. Don't be afraid to take the beef liver pills... I have a condition that causes allergic reactions to nearly anything, MCAD, and my Mast Cells attacked my thyroid so I had to take Synthyroid, but I even had a reaction to that. My Mast Cell specialist recommended bovine thyroid supplements, which I, too, was afraid of. It took me a long time, but I finally agreed to try them, and I have have had great results. I think you should try the Beef liver supplements, AND so many great suggestions here, like using cast iron. I'm praying for you, AND praying for the MedBeds to become available ASAP!!! Love and Prayers!❤️🙏🙏🙏
