Does anemia affect menstruation?

In fact, there is no direct relationship between anemia and menstruation, because menstruation is physiological bleeding, which will cause the endometrium in the uterus to fall off. This is not blood in the body, but some unnecessary impurities. Unless the bleeding is caused by abnormal menstruation, it will also cause excessive blood loss in the body and cause anemia. Although menstruation and anemia do not have much to do with each other, many people worry that anemia will affect menstruation.

Generally speaking, there is no direct relationship between anemia and menstruation. Anemia can cause many symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea, pale complexion, general weakness, etc. Therefore, it is not ruled out that anemia may lead to less menstrual volume, but it cannot be said that anemia will definitely lead to less menstrual volume.

The symptoms of irregular menstruation are abnormal menstrual cycle or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The causes are generally organic diseases and functional disorders. There are many factors that cause irregular menstruation.

During menstruation, you will feel abdominal discomfort, back pain, and various other discomforts. The color of menstrual blood is pink or light red, the menstrual blood is very thin or the menstrual volume is reduced, and the menstrual period is very short. The delay in menstruation is very serious, often lasting more than 40 days. Even though my period is over, I still feel weak all over.
