Description
Anemia occurs when you have a level of red blood cells (RBCs) in your blood that is lower than
normal. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia, and it occurs when your
body doesn’t have enough of the mineral iron. Your body needs iron to make a protein called
hemoglobin. This protein is responsible for carrying oxygen to your body’s tissues, which is
essential for your tissues and muscles to function effectively. When there isn’t enough iron in
your blood stream, the rest of your body can’t get the amount of oxygen it needs,While the
condition may be common, a lot of people don’t know they have iron deficiency anemia. It’s
possible to experience the symptoms for years without ever knowing the cause.(1)
In women of childbearing age, the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia is a loss of iron
in the blood due to heavy menstruation or pregnancy. A poor diet or certain intestinal diseases
that affect how the body absorbs iron can also cause iron deficiency anemia. Doctors normally
treat the condition with iron supplements or changes to diet
