Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Hypoferritinemia?Im 23 F. 53 and 125 pounds.I have severe gastroparesis (gj tube because of it), IBS, endometriosis, and now hypoferritinemia without anemia as well.I got a letter in the mail from my doctor saying hematology thinks I have hypoferritinemia without anemia due to a combination of malabsorption and losing a lot of blood from endometriosis issues. Im constantly dizzy and my joint pain baseline is never below a 7 anymore. They said it could possibly be because of this, but they arent sure.Other than a letter that said my ferritin levels were 4 & I also had low folate levels, so I was to schedule an iron infusion appointment a few weeks out, I havent heard anything else.My biggest questions are is this something that would likely be chronic, or fixed with a single iron infusion? & is there anything I can do to help correct this?. ### Response: If you have a GJ and bowel problems you'll probably have ongoing absorption problems anyway.Have you considered trying to stop the periods with contraception so you're not losing more blood at least? You should avoid the pill if absorption is an issue but depot, implant and coils would be good options..
