I am female and I was diagnosed iron deficiency anemia by my doctor today. However, I wanted to know from you all how serious is my case? Also, my doctor suggested iron supplements. Could I just go with iron rich vegetables for now to avoid any side effects?

My blood test showed:

Hemoglobin: 10.5gm/dl
MCV: 67.5

Rest everything appeared normal in my blood test.

Please advise.
I am menstruating and 28 years old.

The best iron tablets are the ones with vitamin c, your chemist should have those. If it is really serious, your doctor can give you iron shots, but they should have mentioned that if it is that serious.
