What Causes Drop In Blood Count After Prostate Removal Surgery?

My husband s blood count is 24 after 4 days for surgery for removal of prostate. He wants to go home but dr wants to keep him. Is there anything that can be done to raise the level. And if he was given transfusion today would he have to stay in the hospital?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Your report is incomplete

Explanation: Blood count cannot be just 24, please send me complete report of your husband for proper suggestion. Stay in hospital depends upon the condition of the patient and that can only be done after physical examination. So, consult your doctor and trust him.
