A member asked:
Hi, can you explain benefits of donating blood to the donors's health? i know by donating you save lives but is there any pros and cons to the donor's health? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As long as you are otherwise healthy, you are able to tolerate having a unit of blood removed. Your body will replenish the blood cells relatively quickly and healthy people tolerate this well. However, check with your doctor before donating to ensure you are a good candidate prior to donating any blood. Good luck!
