My test report says Low Haemoglobin is indication of infection in some parts of body and could be also Cancer.

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Hello,it is okay to loose 5 kgs in 6 months,if you are working on your diet.
you didn't mention me your age,cancer is rare before 50.
the ESR raise you are mentioning can rise even with moderate infection,generally cancer will raise ESR above 110.
blood cancer can occur between 30 to 50 years,but the numbers you mentioned here are not seen in blood cancer,in cancer any one of the parameter will raise very high.
blood Hb of 7.5 indicates a disease ,in males Hb should be above 12.
it could be because of occult blood loss,and loss of blood could be the reason for your weight loss.
And occult blood loss is something which couldn't be said without examining the patient,so you have to meet a good general physician who and discuss about everything i said in detail ,because i dont want you to take any chance with Hb 7.5.take care.

dear dr.priyanka,
thank u very much for giving such detailed explanation.My age is 52years.
On further browsing net,I learnt that Flex seeds are very hot for body and I did face problem of developing boils in mouth due to same because of which I reduced intake of Flex seeds.but lately I am facing very acute itching in my anus area with occasional bleeding with stool and understand same could be due to Crohn's disease due to small intestine might have got infected due to excess heat of Flex seeds.
I have taken appointment of Dr.Rita Dalal of Hinduja Hospital for Saturday dt.3rd May and will get myself further investigated.
once again thanks for giving comfort against scare of Cancer cropped up in my mind.
now I am hoping for the best after further investigation.
thanks,
