How to avoid blood transfusion

Published by

I am a 45- year -old man. I recently had surgery for a long- standing stomach issue. However, in line with my religious faith, I  declined blood transfusion during the surgical operation. Now I feel weak always due to my low blood level which my doctor say can only be treated with a blood transfusion. Kindly help me with an alternative.

Although there are various preparations in the forms of tablets, injections and syrups which can boost the body’s blood level, once the blood level is lower than a certain level, a blood transfusion will certainly be necessary. In view of your religious belief, you can discuss the possibilities of using the above- named alternatives in addition to a diet rich in blood forming properties with your doctor. However, if this kind of therapy does not work, you will need to resort to Blood Transfusion.
