Hi, the cause of the hemoglobin not increasing might be due to hook worms in the intestines, micro bleeding at the site of blood loss, malnutrition,etc.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. Thank you.

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
iNTERNAL BLOOD LOSS can be due to many medical and surgical reasons.most common ones are trauma,peptic ulcers,any kind of inflammatory or neoplastic lesion ,problems in clotting mechanisms or anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications.To find out the cause of bleeding an ultrasonography and simple hemogram with peripheral smear are the basic tests.Kindly go for them as a cause once found out will help you in cure!take care!
