Vana, a 22-year-old came in to the clinic because her sister needs to have blood transfusion after having severe blood loss due to surgery. But when she went to the blood bank for voluntary blood donation, she learned that she cannot donate blood. She insisted because it is for her sister. However, she was told that her erythrocyte count and hemoglobin levels are too low. The blood bank recommends that Vana should see her physician for an examination. Why do women tend to have a lower erythrocyte count and hemoglobin level than men? 4 What general symptoms do individuals with this condition tend to develop? How does diet play a role in preventing and treating this problem
