Brief Answer:
Not to be worried.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.

No, 95g/l is not to worried about. It is mild anemia.
Improve your nutrition through diet rich in fish, egg, nuts, legumes, green leafy vegetables etc.
Usually nutritional anemia is commonly seen.
However, at this age, associated loss in urine, stool or excessive menstrual bleeding needs to be thought of.

Improve your diet, it will improve over course of time.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.

Brief Answer:
Mild anemia is usually 90-120.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again.

Different books or studies have different values.

Mild anemia is usually 90-120.
Moderate anemia is 60-90
Severe anemia is <60

Unless you have breathlessness or any cardiac symptoms, anemia is not to be worried about. Only when these symptoms become severe, then only blood transfusion will be necessary.
Until then, nutritional correction would be adequate.

Improve your diet and take vit B-complex along with iron supplements , it will improve over course of time.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
