Feeling weak with low haemoglobin is likely due to Anemia, which is common in people with Uterine Fibroids due to heavy periods. Medicines like Uripristal 5 mg are not usually the cause of this weakness. You will likely need iron supplements and a diet rich in iron (like green leafy vegetables, dates, jaggery, and beetroot) along with vitamin C to improve absorption. Consult your doctor to treat both the anaemia and the fibroids properly, as correcting your haemoglobin will help reduce weakness and improve strength.

  1. Symptom Assessment and Urgency

    • Advise immediate medical evaluation for weakness and inability to hold objects, which may indicate severe anemia or neurological issues.

  2. Hemoglobin Management

    • Recommend urgent blood tests and possible iron supplementation or transfusion to address very low hemoglobin.

  3. Review of Uterine Fibroid Treatment

    • Suggest consulting the prescribing doctor to reassess Uripristal use and consider alternative treatments if side effects are suspected.

  4. Specialist Referral

    • Recommend seeing a gynecologist and possibly a hematologist for comprehensive management.

  5. Monitoring and Follow-up

    • Emphasize close monitoring of symptoms and hemoglobin levels with regular follow-up appointments.
