Hi there! I have some news that think may be important.
Today I went to see the doctor to bring a blood and urine test I did a month ago. The thing is that during June/July I had some issues with the urine tract, I had an urgency to go a lot to the bathroom and also It hurted a little bit. Well, this is now gone and urine test showed fine, but the blood test revealed another thing, the doctor told me I may have a little bit of anemia because my haematids count is a little bit low at 3.97 10e6/uL (reference values of the lab seem to be between 4.2 and 6.10) and the hematocrite is 37.2% (ref values 38 to 52). The rest of hormonal values are in the normal ranges.
The doctor told me that if I am into endurance sports I should feel the impact of low hematocrite and he explained to me all the things that involve elite athletes and their pursue to maximize their red cells count as training in high altitude, etc.. just to inform me a little bit, very nice of him hehe.
He thinks that it may be due to an iron deficiency so he recommended me pharmaceutical oral shots of iron every 48h or so, to give a little iron boost.
What do you think about this TheEd? Could it be connected with the performance drop I've been experiencing lately? For me, it seems that could be some connection.
