Hello..

This is your peripheral smear study report, which means your blood drop is put on a slide and examined under microscope for the nature of each blood cell.

First part says about red blood cells(RBCs), it says you have slight variation in shape and size of your RBCs, and there are some unusual cells too. All these things are found associated with some type of anemia(condition of deficiency of red cells or Haemoglobin).

The rest of the cells are normal.

I find this answer helpful
