im 21 years old and is worried whether i need to take iron supplement. i used to have blood donation every 4 months. There are times when my hemoglobin level are 10.5, sometimes even 9.8. However, there are times when the level is normal(dont know the value, check with chemical solution). i felt strange for my frustrating hemoglobin level and dont know how to maintain it to the normal range.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should not donate the blood if your HE level is below 12.5 or fluctuating hemoglobin level. You should go for peripheral smear examination and anemia profile. If you have iron deficiency then you should take iron supplements. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
