[|Human|] I have tubal ligation reversal surgery scheduled in 6 days, and my hemoglobin level is 9.3. The surgeon performing the procedure says he won t proceed unless it comes up to a 10. I ve already been taking iron supplements and received an iron injection, which did bring it up to a 9.3 from an 8.4. How can i get it to a 10 in time for my surgery?
[|AI|]  Hi dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. It can be pure iron deficiency or associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. So you should go for peripheral smear examination, s iron, s. ferritin and s vitamin B12 level. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
