When to Consult a Hematologist

General physicians and dentists frequently refer patients to a hematologist when blood parameters fail to normalize. You should schedule a hematologist consultation if:

• Your hemoglobin drops without obvious bleeding or does not improve after iron supplements.
• Your platelets remain under 100,000/μL after recovering from viral fever or Dengue.
• You notice unexplained swollen glands (lymph nodes) in your neck, armpit, or groin.
• You bruise easily or have recurrent nosebleeds without nasal trauma.
• You have a family history of Thalassemia or hemophilia and plan to marry.

Early diagnosis prevents complications and avoids unnecessary, costly emergency hospitalizations.
