###Human: Is it recommended to get blood transfusion before uterus removal? ###Assistant: Hi. As your mother is 64 years old, it is better to have uterus removal and removal of fibroid along with it. Please mention about the symptoms faced by her. Please send the ultrasound report to guide you further. For increasing the range of Hb (hemoglobin), iron injections alone will not give quick results. So the doctor has decided for transfusion of blood before or after surgery. Depending on the location of the fibroid, there will be excessive bleeding, and it is better to have a blood transfusion soon.
