See GYN MD: The heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to anemia.(low blood level) and the back pain may be a signal from the uterus and your pelvic organs of "trouble on deck". Please see a gyn md for clarity.

Agree with Dr I: If you have heavy periods you should take oral iron and multivitamin supplements to prevent anemia.
