Doubts on blood donation:
1. How much blood will they take from me?
An average adult has 4 to 5 liters of blood in our body. 350ml blood will be collected in a packet with a colloidal solution inside the packet to store the blood which will last upto 30 days.
2. After donating blood, In how many days the blood get restored in our body?
After blood donation, we get new restored blood within 24hrs to 48hrs. Red blood cells take between 8 weeks to 12 weeks. That’s why there must be a gap of atleast 4 months gap for every blood donation.
3. I am scared of pain while inserting needle in our hand to extract blood.
The pain will be like an ant bite and it will last only a few minutes. But donated blood will be a life to someone.
4. My Hemoglobin is low to donate blood. What to do?
You can improve your Hemoglobin levels naturally by consuming iron rich foods, sufficient rest to body and hydration.
Your Hemoglobin levels will be back to normal in 6 to 12 weeks after blood donation.
5. Who can donate blood?
Anyone aged between 18 to 65 and healthy, weighed above 50 kgs, can donate blood.
These are some of the doubts most of the people have in donating blood.
If you have any other doubt on blood donation, let me know.

Many people have an impression that blood banks are doing business with our donated blood like they are taking blood from us for free in blood donation camps and giving that unit to patient with some charges.
Those charges are for screening purpose to check whether the unit extracted contains any infectious diseases before giving it to patients and for those tests there will be huge need of chemicals and for those chemicals and freezer to maintain the units for storage, charges will be there and those will be charged from patients.
Now, you got an idea right why blood banks are charging money for blood units?
Now go ahead and make it a habit of donating blood regularly once in every 3 months.

2. If your hb count, BP levels are either low or high, ask them the range of hb count and bp level for eligibility to donate blood.

Whenever you donate blood voluntarily in blood banks or in any blood donation camps, make sure to check your blood unit for the details and ask for blood donor card.
That blood donor card is valid for 6 months to 1 year, you can use that card within that time to any emergency. So don’t forget to ask the donor card after voluntary blood donation.
If you donate blood in emergencies, that unit will be used to the patient immediately and so you won’t get donor card at that time.
