Blood donation time calculator: When can I donate again?

When is the right time and when can I give blood again?

Blood is a precious and necessary fluid. It transports the necessary nutrients in the body, but mainly oxygen and also waste substances that the body produces through its activity, metabolism.

Blood can be donated from one person to another. Someone will need this precious fluid due to various health problems, severe injuries and surgeries. This is when blood loss and the need to replenish blood is needed.

During transfusion, the patient is given a whole unit of blood, so it is not divided into separate components. Plasma can also be donated separately. A single unit of blood can be used for a number of purposes, components that can save health and life.

What is important, however, is that we can share this precious liquid with others.

Men can donate blood every 3 months and women every 4 months.

Women should not donate blood during menstruation.

However, even blood donation is limited.

A few restrictions to know about before donating blood:

The secondary medical school in Nitra gave me the basis for my career in the field of health and diseases. Thanks to it, I worked for 2 years in the traumatology clinic and outpatient clinic at the Nitra Hospital. Since 2006 I was employed in the emergency medical service, where I stayed until 2017. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra in the field of emergency health care. The bachelor's degree allowed me to continue my mission as a paramedic. In the meantime, I got a job at the emergency line 155. I have been working in pre-hospital health care until today. I had an interest in people, health and even diseases in my childhood, which gave me the prerequisite to pursue this topic in adulthood. Studying and acquiring new information in practice provided me with a great basis for writing professional texts, in the form of articles that can be understood by ordinary people. Thus, my interest in the Health Portal has a solid foundation in years of practice and personal interest. Similarly, I am also interested in healthy eating, nutrition and overall healthy lifestyle. I fill my free time with family and sports.
