Blood loss: The first thing you need to fo is to see a doctor to find the cause of your blood loss. Do not look for any short cuts. See your doctor asop.

Question 3

could there be any serious risk \aside from excessive blood loss\ to self-harm \wrist cutting\?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I've treated people who had this problem in their teens and early twenties who later in their lives experienced significant embarrassment and interference with job applications because of the permanent scarring, having to wear long sleeved shirts even on the hottest of days.

Question 4

i had an excessive mens. bleeding for 14 days. no hormonal pills ever.the blood loss was ab500 cc. how long to continue with sangobion & what dosage?

Unclear: There are many treatments for heavy periods. Iron is only prescribed when heavy periods are so severe as to cause anemia. See a gynecologist to evaluate this problem.

Accepted Answer

Depends on your coun: Generally it takes a while to build up your count with iron supplements. Your doctor should come up with a rigid plan if your anemia is severe. Good luck!

Question 6

i read anemia can cause excessive/increased thirst, but why exactly is this? (aside from sudden/alot of blood loss where volume needs to be made up)

Accepted Answer

Eating ice: Anemia associated with iron deficiency often cause a tendency to eating ice, not exactly thirst, but a behavior called pica.

Question 7

i had an ovarian cyst rupture yesterday and now feel dizzy. could it be excess blood loss from the rupture 24+ hrs ago? or ok to wait it out?

Accepted Answer

Monitor close: Signs of excess blood loss would be a rapid heart rate and dizziness when you stand up.  However, you can also get these symptoms if you are dehydrated.  Drink a lot of water or electrolyte fluid and see if your symptoms get better.  However, if you have worsening belly pain and swollen belly you should be seen right away.

Question 8

how long will it take for my symptoms of anemia (headache and dizziness) to go away?  my anemia was caused by blood loss from a miscarriage and surger

Accepted Answer

90 days +: It takes 90 days for the body to manufacture one mature red blood cell from the bone marrow and get it into circulation. If your blood loss was very severe, it may take longer and oral daily iron supplementation is essential.

Question 9

how much blood loss is serious?

Accepted Answer

Blood loss: Blood loss of any amount can be potentially serious. This depends upon the age of the patient, co-morbid conditions, acuity of the blood loss, and whether they are ongoing. Discuss the specifics with your doctor.

Question 10

describe the features of blood loss.?

Accepted Answer

Depends on rate: Rapid blood loss, think: gunshot wound, leads to immediate shock and death, obviously. Gradual blood loss leads to anemia with symptoms of fatigue, weakness, apathy, and malaise. Very severe anemia is surprisingly well tolerated for long periods if it has occurred very slowly like due to menstruation without adequate iron replacement or slow bleeding in the bowels.
