Anti inflammatory pills....plz answer anyone?

Question

IM 20

In feb this year i found out that i am anemic. The doctor have put me on iron supplements for 3months, a month after that i have had another full blood count and ferritin test done. The result had no change so the doctor told me that he is going to put me on the supplements again for 3 months, if it hasn't change then i will get Iv iron therapy.The doc said the only problem is heavy periods, cause i was for a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy and they found nothing

If I take anti inflammatory pills can my anemia get worse or can the pills have a negative result on my anemia?

or can it make the anemia better?

((I take anti inflammatory cause my lower spine is inflamed))

if this second iron supplement doesn't work he will put me on the birth control pill and IV iron....

For my lower back... it comes a long way and its also pressing on other disc.... im new to this back pain, dont know much

Answer 1

Believe it or not i am 22 and in similar boat don't have heavy periods but am on antiinflamtorys and have anemia the antiinflamtorys have no bearing on it.

Answer 2

You would have to ask your doc but I don't think anti inflammatories

can effect your iron count BUT, they can thin your blood a little bit which would make you bleed more during your period which then could make you anemic.

Talk to your doctor about this.
