blood donation
-
I donated blood today. my mum grew upset about it.. she thinks that it will harm my body. I believe it won't and i don't donate regularly. i follow HSA's recommendation of 3 months.. and it has been 5 months since I last donated. I believe i have weighted the risks involved and I have also added a buffer of 2 months just to be extra conservative. We still cannot see eye to eye on this.
wad do everyone think? -
donating blood is completely harmless. there recently was a blood donation promotional thingo at my school and many students donated blood without the need for parental consent.

just take the iron tablets and you will recover the blood in no time.

Feel that donating blood is a lot more impt then donating money or other items. Cos blood, together with other body organs, is the most precious things that a person can donate. In terms of donating money or other monetary items. Anybody can donate any amount @ any time any frequencies they like. But for most body organs, its once in a life time n for blood, its once every 12weeks. Besides this, there r also some others conditions attach e.g. for guys e amt would b 430cc n girls 330cc (estimate oli). Although all this conditions requires more time n lengthen the donating process. But its certainly worthwhile, as I remember, so far there is 1 guy who got AIDS n still go ahead with e donation. Eventually he was caught n dealt wif accordingly J. so in order to eliminate such possibilities, there is no choice but to implement such screening process.
As mention above, due 2 e limitations in age, health and frequency. At most a donor can oli donate 4 time in a yr, n as donating blood is not very widespread amoung sÂ’poreans, From time to time, we will hear o c report & articles on newspapers n radios telling ppl that e blood bank is running out of blood n needs donations asap, if notÂ… this problem is due to e low turnout of blood donations. Some fears o misunderstanding that ppl commonly have about B.donation is fear of hand becoming weak after donation o body feeling weak n have to rest for e rest of e day. I have been donating blood for a few yrs and it is oli during my first donation do I feel a bit thirsty(due to e loss of a significant amt of liquid in e body within a short time). E other minor discomfort might b, as there is a bandage covering e wound. It would b difficult to bend e hand for e rest of e day. Otherwise, I donÂ’t encounter any other problems at all. Anyway, until now all donation centres that I have been to so far do provides some form of refreshments for donors at e end of the process, so theres no much problem with having no water to drink!
B.donations can either b done at e blood bank at HSA next to outram park mrt o at various mobile blood donation exercise. Futher info can b obtain @
Therefore I strongly encourage everybody to consider donating blood.

What is the age limit of blood donation? I remember when I was a kid, maybe around 11-15, I wanted to donate blood but my family would not allow me to.
I lost the interest in blood donation now anyway.

donating blood causes your body to create new blood cells which is a healthy thing.

For me, blood donation not so pain at all, neither do i feel thirsty or can't bend my arm. Of course it can vary from people to people but i believe that those nurse at HSA know their job very well. Like i read somewhere before, we still can't produce blood artificially. So donate blood for the needy.

your body will generate new blood cells after you lost blood. it will actually do good for your body when you donate blood.
