Low risk: The risk for a perimenopausal woman, even with the genetic defect that causes hemochromatosis, is low. However, here on you are losing the protection provided by the menstrual blood loss and should consult your doctor for an evaluation and preventive measures that may include therapeutic phlebotomy (blood letting).
