Anemia is a medical condition in which blood hemoglobin comes down. Normal level of hemoglobin in blood is 12 – 14 gram in female and 12 – 16 gram in male. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in parts of the body. So any deficiency will affect oxygen carrying capacity of blood resulting in less oxygen supply to different body parts. Cause of anemia is also to be investigated. In your case, low hemoglobin is due to blood loss during period. Cause of excessive blood loss during menstruation must be investigated. Unless the cause is corrected, your hemoglobin might not increase or rather it may decrease further. Advice 1. Ferrous sulfate tablet – one tablet twice daily (Brand name – Autrin, Dexorange) 2.
