This is known as anaemia and is classified based on the Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV-Size of the RBC).
Microcytic
Iron deficiency
Normocytic
Blood loss
Macrocytic
B12/Folate deficiency
mumps will cause low sperm count
In my case, statins did not lower the count, but did cause bleeding and extensive petechiae.
A lower RDW count can occur as a result of various conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or chronic diseases like chronic liver disease or chronic kidney disease. Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause, such as blood transfusions, iron supplementation, or managing the chronic condition.
Lower RBC count which could be caused due to specific iron deficiency diseases. For example, Hemacromatosis would be considered a chronic iron def. disease
Yup
Yes, normal ranges from about 13 - 17 depending on the lab. Women can run a bit lower just after their menstrual cycle.
Women tend to have lower hemoglobin levels. In the absence of bleeding, iron deficiency anemia is the most common cause, especially in women with heavy menstrual flow. Other causes are: certain vitamin deficiencies (folic acid, B12), occult gastrointestinal bleeding, destruction of red blood cells caused by certain dieseases like autoimmune diseases, bone marrow failure due to malignancies, renal disease and hereditary diseases like sickle cell disease or Thallasemias...
The Answer is no But if on treatment as I am at the moment then yes the treatment can lower hemoglobin levels and I would like to add that this and all other symptoms are closely monitored by the medical team
Walking has no effect on sperm count, unless you accidentally cause trauma to the testicles during the walk.
Haldane effect
yes
A hemoglobin (Hgb) count of 10.1 grams per deciliter (g/dL) indicates a lower than normal level of hemoglobin in the blood, suggesting anemia. Normal levels typically range from 13.8 to 17.2 g/dL for men and 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL for women, depending on the laboratory's reference values. This condition may result from various factors, including nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, or blood loss. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.
