How long will it take to get back the normal Hb level after hysterectomy?
Patient: Hello I had a hysterectomy on Aug 7th the day after they found my hemoglobion was 7.8 then by thursday evening it was a 5.9 so the radioligist went in thru a artery in my leg and found a place that was oozing some blood and foamed it up and i had 2 bags of blood gave to me thru IV the next morning it was back up to a 8 and i came home which was Friday. I went to ER on Monday for a bad constipation pain but was relieved they checked my blood again and it was a 10 . My question is how long does it take to get it back to a normal level like 12 or so ? And when can I have a glass or 2 of wine Doctor: Hi,welcome to health care magic and thanks for asking.The hemoglobin level should come back to normal within a month, if you are taking supplements.Wine is not contraindicated and is not a negative factor for low hemoglobin. If there are no other risk factors, you can take a glass of wine. Alcoholics are known to suffer from malnutrition. So try to keep up your nutrition and if required, take supplements.Any further queries, happy to help again.
