Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i m a 29 yr old unmarried woman.few months back i had heavy periods. after tht my hemoglobin went down......now my periods r normal after taking some ayurvedic medicine. but my haemoglobin in 11...i feel weakness, short breath, loss of apetite,.. can i take ranbaxy revital women......will it help in increasing haemoglobin.
Thank you for the query. AS per the history, you a 29yrs old unmarried lady, suffering from menorrhagia followed by reduced Hemoglobin levels. I would like to know whether you suffer from any thyroid dysfunction (specially hypothyroidism). Presently, you Hb level is 11 gm% (which is not very bad), but you are still symptomatic (weakness, shortness of breath). I would advise you to undergo certain investigations, if you have not done them already - thyroid profile (hypothyroidism can lead to menorrhagia, anemia, weakness), stool for Occult blood (to rule out ongoing blood loss), USG lower abdomen (to rule out uterine pathology) and iron profile (serum iron/TIBC). Vitamin supplements (like revital) may help, but you should go for oral iron and folic acid supplements. Nutritious diet with adequate protein content is advised. Fruits like apple and dates may help out. Please do visit your gynaecologist for further advise and checkup Hope this helps you out.
