Heavy Menstrual Bleeding & Iron Deficiency: A Key Health Link
Studies estimate that over 40% of women with heavy menstrual bleeding also have iron deficiency.
Symptoms such as feeling cold and craving ice cubes are associated with iron deficiency.
Untreated iron deficiency can progress to anaemia, a condition where bone marrow lacks sufficient iron to produce haemoglobin for red blood cells to carry oxygen.
In severe cases, anaemia may require blood transfusions.
