Low Hb count
I had low haemoglobin count of 9.4 mg/dll due to haemorrhoids. The doctor prescribed me to take an iron infusion (encircarb 500 mg + 100 cc for 30 mins). My heamoglobin count now is 9.7 mg/dll (after 3 days). Is this ok ? or is it supposed to be more ? Weight: 86, Male

No it's not ok, it Should be more that 13 for you. You need elemental iron infusion and proper diet to increase your Hb count. Otherwise you will be weak and feel dizzi and may faint someday.

Do consult online to get prescribed and get dietary plan.
