Women with severe anemia may notice that their hands and feet often feel cold to the touch. This is because the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood affects the body’s ability to regulate temperature effectively.
As the blood flow to the extremities is compromised, it can cause the hands and feet to feel colder than usual. This symptom can be particularly bothersome during winter months or in colder environments.
If you experience persistently cold hands and feet, consult a healthcare professional to determine if severe anemia could be the underlying cause. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help improve blood circulation and alleviate this symptom. (4)
