What Is The Cause And Treatment For Low Haemoglobin Level?

Reticulocyte count evaluation necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.
Hemoglobin of 9.8g% indicates mild anemia.
However, to evaluate for improvement, and whether soaked raisins is working or not - you need to get a "reticulocyte count test" done.
You are taking treatment with soaked raisins, assuming it to be iron or Vitamin deficiency. If there were other causes, the anemia wont improve. So, a reticulocyte count evaluation is necessary.
For Thalassemia, "Hemoglobin electrophoresis" test is necessary and can be done, when the present anemia does not improve.
I assume you would have a whole test report including red cell indices (mcv, mch, mchc, rdw) and if you would be able to attach the report, I will be able to help you more.
Can you also mention your previous hemoglobin values or any other hematology reports (Vit B12 assay, serum ferritin, total iron binding capacity, serum transferrin etc) to followup the present one.
Do follow up with your queries.
Thanks for asking.
Dr. Jyothi BL

Thalassemia carrier along with nutritional deficit
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I went through the report. The report is of 2010. After going through the values, it appears to beta thalassemia carrier. The high HbA2 levels, reduced MCV along with normal serum iron at that times favor a diagnosis of Beta thalassemia carrier.
Confirmation is required through molecular testing.
However, it would not affect you much. In future you might need to check for your newborn, to look into possible inheritance.
However, your recent hemoglobin values are reduced more than previously and i suspect a possible nutritional deficiency or increased bleeding. You need to improve your nutrition with supplements (composed of multi-vitamins with iron) or through natural ones like red meat, egg, etc or even soaked raisins.
Reticulocyte count is necessary for evaluating improvement. If possible, get this test done.
Improve your nutrition through supplements - natural or artificial to improve the hemoglobin.
If there is increased bleeding during menstrual cycles, discuss with your doctor towards reducing it.
Any further queries, happy to help again.

2 eggs per day along with soaked raisins
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
You are welcome.
Do not look much into nutritional diet. 2 eggs per day along with soaked raisins should help you. Vit B12 is not present in veg diet and is prepared by bacteria in Gut, you will get it from eggs. You can eat all you want in a balanced manner. If you want, you can take any nutritional supplements composed of vitamins and minerals. That should be more than adequate.
You are still young and you eat everything. Nutritional diet prescription is usually for elderly, as they become choosy and loose on essential items. You can have 2 eggs per day with soaked raisins and you will get all the nutrition.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
If you do not have any further clarifications, you can close the query and rate the answers.
Have a healthy life.
