What is menstrual anemia?

　　menstruation anemia What's going on? In recent years, it has been found that many teenagers are suffering from anemia, especially girls, accounting for about 10%. The causes are related to increased iron demand, excessive iron loss and insufficient intake.

　　Under normal circumstances, the iron absorbed by the body from food and the iron excreted are basically balanced. However, due to the growing days and nights, adolescent girls require much more iron than the normal requirement. Once the iron intake is insufficient, the iron usually stored in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow needs to be used to ensure the needs of cell synthesis. However, this is a temporary emergency measure. If over time, if additional iron is not supplemented in time, supply will exceed demand and lead to anemia. Excessive iron loss is related to menstruation. Usually, blood loss is about 30 to 50 milliliters and iron loss is about 15 to 25 milligrams in each menstrual cycle.

　　Since the human body has a compensatory function and can maintain the relative balance of iron in the body, female Anemia does not occur due to menstruation. However, some girls suffer from "adolescent functional disorder" Uterus After "hemorrhage", either the menstrual flow is not exhausted, resulting in chronic blood loss, or the menstrual flow is like water, causing acute massive blood loss. Both types of blood loss will take away a large amount of iron, and over time, anemia will occur. There are also many girls who blindly diet in pursuit of a "curvy" slim figure, and develop bad habits of picky eaters and partial eclipses, resulting in insufficient iron intake and resulting in anemia.

　　Therefore, don’t blindly diet, don’t be partial or picky about your food, have a wider menu, and eat more iron-rich dishes. You can take some ferrous sulfate tablets. If you suffer from functional uterine bleeding in adolescence, you should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for treatment in time. 》》》》 Common menstrual irregularities8major symptoms
