Question: How much blood can one safely lose in a day/week.?
I have a bleeding hemmorrhoid and I am losing a small amount of blood each day. I went to the hospital when it first started bleeding because I didn't know what it was. The doctor gave me a prescription but I misplaced it because I don't have the money to fill it. This has been going on for a week now. Should I go back to the hospital.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
It really depends on where your hemoglobin starts. New red blood cells are being replenished every day, with old ones dying out, in a continuous cycle. It takes about 300ml to lose 1 gram of hemoglobin. So if you were to bleed 10 ounces over the course of 3 months, and kept eating iron rich foods, you would likely be ok.
I would try to take care of the hemorrhoids as soon as possible to prevent further loss.
Good luck to you. Hope this helps...Health Question & Answer
