question: Hi doctor, My mother is 64 years old. She has a fibroid above the uterus. The doctor has advised removing the uterus. She has a low level of hemoglobin, and she is given injections to increase the range. But it got increased from 10 g/dL to 10.4 g/dL. But the doctor advises my mother to have hemoglobin to be at 11 g/dL. The doctor recommends for a blood transfusion, and he ordered 350 ml blood from the blood bank. He plans for a uterus removal operation a couple of days later. Is this advisable and a routine procedure?
