A member asked:
Is it common to experience extreme menstrual cramps if you have an iron deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You may have an iron deficiency because of heavy menstrual bleeding which may or may not be associated with severe menstrual cramps. See your healthcare provider for advice. If you are anemic, you are either not producing enough red blood cells or are losing too many. See your md.
