Anemia Due To Heavy Bleeding
Anemia is a condition that arises when the body does not have sufficient healthy red blood cells to transport oxygen to the organs. Anemia can make you feel weak, pale, and tired all the time. Some women are likely to suffer from anemia if they are experiencing heavy bleeding during their periods due to the fibroids growing in the uterus. Anemia might lead to intense craving for dirt, starch, or ice in some women and the medical term for the condition is pica. Pica is very common among anemic women and children. Women who go through frequent and extremely intense bleeding during their menstruation are more likely to suffer from anemia at some point. Fibroids growths developing in the uterus can cause the menstruation to be very heavy and in some women there is bleeding even between the periods. Certain treatments like oral iron tablets can improve the condition of anemia which needs immediate attention. While if you are significantly anemic, then you must get an iron infusion to feel better because consulting to your healthcare provider is very important if you are experiencing signs of anemia along with fibroids in your uterus.
