A member asked:

Foundout my iron is 31, ferritin is 5.really worried.i bleed heavily 2 of 5 period days. is that enough to cause this?i feel fine+started supplements.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You are iron-deficient. You are wise to be on supplements. Iron deficiency is common in mentruating women due the monthly blood loss. Continue the iron for a couple of months at least and, if your periods are abnormal, consult with your ob-gyn. O/w just take iron. This is common. Don't be worried.
