What is amenorrhea and how is it different from anemia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Big difference!: Amenorrhea means lack of menstruation for six months or more. Anemia means a low count of hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen in the blood streams. So the two conditions are completely different.
