Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing high fever of 39 degrees Celsius, accompanied by body aches, palpitations, and sweating. When I have a fever, I don't sweat. Blood tests show that my hematocrit (HCT) is 30.60, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is 75, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is 23, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is 307. Recently, I have been having recurrent fever, with the highest temperature reaching 39 degrees Celsius. This month, my menstrual period has lasted for about 14 days (the first week was normal, and the second week was lighter). What is wrong with me?Doctor's answer:
Based on the blood test results, the red blood cells are considered microcytic and hypochromic. Age: 52 years old, considered to be in perimenopause. It is recommended to check a gynecological MRI to assess the condition of the uterus and ovaries. Besides fever, are there any other symptoms? It is recommended to clarify the cause of the fever, the most common being a lung infection. Based solely on the current blood test results, the possibility of anemia is not ruled out. I suggest you provide a more detailed description of your symptoms.
