How can iron levels be corrected?
If your iron levels are too low, then eat foods that contain iron and take iron supplements. If you cannot correct low iron by diet alone, you should see a doctor. You certainly want to see a doctor if your low iron levels are accompanied by dark urine or black and tarry fecal matter. Those symptoms could indicate internal bleeding which could be caused by ulcers, internal injuries, or cancer, among other serious things. If your iron levels are too high, then stop any iron supplements and remove some foods with high levels of iron from your diet. If you have a disease like hemochromatosis that causes you to have excessive iron levels, then chelating drugs, frequent blood donations, or phlebotomy (bloodletting) may be required. Your doctor should tell you what to do in that case. Women of childbearing age rarely have excessive iron levels unless they overdose on supplements, since menstruation removes blood from their systems.
