Advertisements
Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common cause of iron deficiency anemia in women of reproductive age. Excessive blood loss during menstruation can deplete iron stores, leading to anemia if the body cannot replace the lost iron quickly enough.
Treatment for anemia related to heavy menstrual bleeding may involve iron supplementation, hormonal therapy, or other interventions to address the underlying cause of excessive bleeding.
Regular blood tests and monitoring of iron levels can help detect and manage anemia in women with heavy menstrual bleeding. (9)
