What is causing my hemoglobin blood count to be low?
Your low hemoglobin means you are anemic. There are several causes for anemia, such as low iron intake (plus or minus extremely heavy periods), or you could have a B12 or folic acid deficiency. It depends on your specific type of anemia and what the red cells actually look like. They will be either pale or normal in color, and they might be too large, too small, or normally sized. These all point to specific types of anemia, which determines the treatment needed. Have you not received any treatment whatsoever?
