8. Blood Transfusions

Depending on the severity and type of Myelodysplastic Syndrome you have, a doctor might recommend a blood transfusion. This is considered a low-intensity treatment compared to others. A blood transfusion is common and safe within the medical field. Although it comes with some risks, a blood transfusion can help if you have a low blood count due to MDS. After multiple transfusions, a therapy known as iron chelation can help remove the mineral from your blood if there is too much present.
