Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal haemoglobin level?

Normal haemoglobin is 12-16 g/dL for women and 14-18 g/dL for men. Below 11 g/dL is considered anemia. At R.K. Hospital, CBC with haemoglobin test is available with same-day results.

How long does it take to recover from anemia?

With proper iron supplementation, haemoglobin typically improves by 1-2 g/dL per month. Full recovery takes 3-6 months as the body needs to replenish iron stores. IV iron gives faster results in severe cases.

What foods increase haemoglobin?

Iron-rich foods include green leafy vegetables (spinach, palak), jaggery (gur), dates, beetroot, pomegranate, lentils (dal), eggs, and red meat. Vitamin C (lemon, amla) improves iron absorption.

Does R.K. Hospital provide blood transfusion for severe anemia?

Yes, R.K. Hospital has blood bank access and provides packed red blood cell transfusion for severe anemia (haemoglobin below 7 g/dL or symptomatic). IV iron infusion is also available. Call 0755-4260605.

Part of the general-physician visits, tiredness and preventive health guide

From this question to a practical consultation

Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about general-physician visits, tiredness and preventive health. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.

At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.

Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.

The care pathway: General-physician visits, tiredness and preventive health

1
Describe the pattern and impact
2
Review history, examination and medicines
3
Select relevant tests or referral
4
Agree treatment and a follow-up plan

The sequence explains planned care. Urgent symptoms require prompt assessment and may change this pathway.

The assessment before a treatment decision

A clinician reviews the history and examination before choosing investigations. A blood count or other test may be appropriate for particular symptoms, but there is no universal set of tests that explains every case of weakness.

How can I prepare for an assessment of these symptoms?

Bring a symptom timeline, relevant reports, current prescriptions and your main questions. Ask how the diagnosis will be assessed, whether further tests are needed, what follow-up is planned and which changes require earlier care.
