for women 12 to 16 is acceptable .BUT 17.5 means you have to visit haematologist/internal medicine specialist for further evaluation.as a precaution

Hello there...I can understand your concern. a haemoglobin level of to 16 to 17 is only slightly above normal. so no need to worry for now. so individuals can have slightly high haemoglobin even normally. very high haemoglobin is seen conditions like polycythemia Vera or bone marrow abnormalities. repeat his blood investigations after a month. if it's still increasing then consult a haemotologist or general physician for further evaluation.
