You state in your profile you are a female, but ask advice in the sexual advice area as a male. 45.6 is in the normal range for males.

It means you are making more red corpuscles than needed.  Could be too much iron.  Are you eating too much red meat?  Drinking green tea can chelate some of that iron out of your system.
