Low Hemoglobin help....?

Question

Hi... My sister just went to the doctor & he told her her Hemoglobin rate was low. she's a 7.8 & the normal rate for women is between 12 & 15 gm/dl.

How can I help her? What can she eat to make the rate go back to normal?
& what could happen to her is she stays this way?

Please help :( I don't know anything about this.

One more thing, my sister is in her late 20's & she's 5,5 around 150-120pounds.

Thnx alot:)

Answer 1

I wonder why your sister's doctor has not done anything else to find the cause in order to treat her. I think you need to take your sister to another doctor, a walk in clinic or an out-patient service at a hospital ASAP. Low blood hemoglobin counts may be a sign of an internal bleeding and she may need emergency treatment right away, including a blood transfusion to bring up the count before she passes out.

Another reason for the condition (referred to as anemia) may be the lack of vitamin B-12 in her diet or her digestive system's inability to absorb that vitamin properly. Iron deficiency is also a cause, especially in women who have heavier than usual menstruation. Sometimes , reactions to certain medications also trigger the condition.

Read the article from the link below and take your sister to a health care professional immediately for treatment. A person with a condition such as anemia (low hemoglobin count) may feel mentally and physically too tired and weak to take the initiative to seek help on his/her own.

Answer 2

first its important to diagnose the cause of anemia. if its an iron deficiency anemia, she should take iron tablets for a couple of months and eat food containing iron, like meat, etc.

Answer 3
