However, the doctor's opinion is not unreasonable. Hemoglobin, the average volume of red blood cells and the average amount of hemoglobin all decreased significantly. The biggest possibility is poverty and/or iron deficiency. However, considering that the red blood cell count is high, red blood cell distribution width is normal, and the final result is lower than normal, thalassemia may be greater than iron deficiency.
Genetic testing is correct, but don't panic for the time being. The reason is 1. Hemoglobin is still 95, and severe thalassemia may not be big. Mild may be great, but moderate thalassemia is also possible. 2. Thalassemia is a genetic disease. If the child is thalassemia, at least one of your husband and wife is also thalassemia. If the child is also slightly poor, it probably won't have a significant impact on his health like you. So maybe your wife is crying partly because she doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of thalassemia. Maybe she is a thalassemia patient herself.
Suggestion: 1. Wait until the genetic test results of thalassemia come out before considering the next step. 2. Although iron deficiency may be small, it is suggested to check iron indexes such as ferritin to rule out the possibility of iron deficiency (note that if iron deficiency is found, it should be iron deficiency and thalassemia, not iron deficiency alone).
