You required to go through some investigation to evaluate what is cause of Anemia , as blood transfusion is not a treatment option of Anemia , it is to improve Hb in case of severe anemia or any other urgent need like blood loss, after blood transfusion you're required to go through some basic investigation to need to know what is cause which is causing anemia and treating that cause other wise it is not like that having blood transfusion every time to increase Hb

Sir
1 unit blood donation doesn't cause anemia unless you were already anemic ( doctor should have checked your Hb before your blood donation ideally)
Also to get complete picture of anemia get tested for
Iron profile
Serum ferritin
Vit b12
Peripheral blood smear
And thyroid problem need thorough evaluation for holistic healing.

From the reports you have shared it looks like a case of Megaloblastic anaemia. It could be due to Vit B 12 deficiency or it could be Pernicious anaemia.
Please get your Complete Health Package done from a reputed Laboratory and consult a General Physician with the reports.
