Iron Infusion Therapy

Yorktown Health OB/GYN & Primary Care offers iron infusion therapy at our Lombard office for patients dealing with low iron and iron-deficiency anemia. If you feel constantly tired, foggy, or run down, we deliver iron directly into your bloodstream for fast, lasting relief, with your treatment set and monitored by our providers. It is a simple, in-office way to get your energy and your health back on track.

What is iron infusion therapy?

Iron infusion therapy delivers iron straight into your bloodstream through an IV, so your body absorbs it quickly and completely. We often recommend it when low iron is affecting how you feel, when oral iron supplements have not worked, or when they are hard on your stomach. Your provider confirms your iron levels with simple blood work before treatment, then sets a plan built around your results.

An iron infusion may help if low iron is leaving you with symptoms such as:

• Ongoing fatigue and low energy
• Brain fog or trouble concentrating
• Dizziness or shortness of breath
• Frequent headaches
• Pale skin, brittle nails, or hair loss
• Cold hands and feet
• Restless legs
• A fast or pounding heartbeat

Low iron is especially common in women. Heavy periods, pregnancy, childbirth, fibroids, and conditions like PCOS can all drain your iron stores, which is why iron infusions are an important part of the care we provide.

Why might you need iron infusion therapy?

Iron infusion therapy can:

• Correct iron-deficiency anemia when oral iron is not enough
• Restore your energy and ease constant fatigue
• Improve your focus, mood, and day-to-day function
• Help your blood carry oxygen the way it should
• Support your recovery during pregnancy or after childbirth
• Get iron back into your system quickly, without daily pills
