Low iron. Hair loss. But have we asked WHY?
It’s easy to focus on correcting low iron levels, especially when symptoms such as fatigue, weakness or hair shedding appear.
But iron deficiency is a finding, not a diagnosis of its underlying cause.
It may relate to dietary intake, menstrual blood loss, problems with absorption or blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes, further investigation is needed to understand what’s happening.
Depending on the clinical picture, your GP may recommend blood tests, medical review, diagnostic imaging or referral for investigations such as a colonoscopy or gastroscopy.
My role is to work alongside your GP and other healthcare professionals, providing imaging when appropriate to help investigate potential underlying causes.
Because good healthcare isn’t just about treating a result on a blood test. It’s about understanding the person behind it.
If you have persistent or unexplained iron deficiency, talk to your GP about whether further investigation is needed.
