What is anemia?

Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin is less than normal. The normal level of hemoglobin is generally different in males and females. For men, anemia is typically defined as hemoglobin level of less than 13.5 gram/100 ml and in women as hemoglobin of less than 12.0 gram/100 ml. These definitions may vary slightly depending on the source and the laboratory reference used.

I have been anemic for the last two years. This past year has been the worse since last August. I have had five blood transfusions; two bags each time. The lowest I have been is 6.2, 6.5, and 7.8. Right now, I'm at 9.8. I get my blood checked again soon. They have not said anything about changing the diet I'm on. Iron pills don't seem to work or stop the bleeding, so I have to keep getting blood transfusions
