Hello Your Hb value is below the average normal value of Hb in females i.e. 12-15 g/dl. To increase it, hence fight the anaemia you must change your diet first. Your diet should contain food that is rich in iron. Green leafy vegetables like spinach, dandelion green vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood, beans, nuts, seeds, chickpeas, beetroots etc are the best sources of iron that are required to increase your Hb. Your haemoglobin can be maintained if you take them regularly. Also, there are some food items that reduces the iron absorption by the body even if you take enough of iron daily. So, you must abstain from them on the same time when your take iron for eg, milk, broccoli, cheese, yogurt, salmon fish etc that are all rich in calcium which blocks the absorption of iron in body. Don't worry, Your haemoglobin is low but can be managed if you follow the proper diet and lifestyle as mentioned to you. Fatigue shall also go with the increase in your hb as it is a common symptom in anaemia. Take care.
