Anemia Due To Heavy Bleeding

Anemia occurs when there are not enough healthy red blood cell to carry oxygen to the organs. Anemia can cause you to feel tired, weak and pale all the time. Anemia can be a problem for women who experience heavy bleeding due to fibroids in their uterus. Pica is the medical term used to describe anemia, which can cause women to crave dirt, starch or ice. Pica is common in anemic children and women. Anemia is more common in women who experience heavy and frequent bleeding during menstruation. The fibroids that grow in the uterus may cause heavy menstruation and even bleeding between periods. Anemia is a condition that requires immediate attention. Certain treatments, such as oral iron tablets, can help improve this condition. If you’re significantly anemic then you should get an iron infusion. Consulting your healthcare provider if you have anemia and fibroids is important.
