I'm curious about blood group compatibility for marriage. Both my partner and I have A positive blood types. Could this lead to any issues or concerns we should be aware of?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In general, there are no significant concerns or complications for a marriage between two individuals with A+ positive blood groups, as they share the same ABO blood type and Rh positivity, minimizing the risk of blood transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) in their offspring

What are the 3 stages of iron deficiency?
The first stage is "iron depletion" where iron stores are used up to correct the deficiency. The second stage is "reduced red blood cell formation" where iron supply is not enough to support RBC formation. The third and final stage is "iron deficiency anemia" where hemoglobin concentration is affected and drops below the normal range.

I'm a bit concerned about my hemoglobin level, which is at 18.3. I'm wondering if I should consider donating blood? Also, I'm curious about any lifestyle changes, diet, or medications I should think about. Could you help guide me on this?
Having a hemoglobin level of 18.3 is considered high, and before donating blood, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional. In terms of lifestyle changes and diet, it is recommended to consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens to maintain a healthy hemoglobin level. Additionally, vitamin C can help with iron absorption, so including citrus fruits or bell peppers in your diet may be beneficial. If medication is needed to lower your hemoglobin level, your doctor may prescribe medications such as phlebotomy or hydroxyurea to help manage it.
