A member asked:
Total iron saturation 9-l ferritin 7 - l, iron 39, uibc 396 nml, tibc- 435 nml can heavy periods cause this? periods last 10 days and have been heavy my whole life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Menstrual blood loss is a common cause of iron deficiency in women of reproductive age. You may take oral iron and multivitamin supplements, or the treatment prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor can prescribe pills that can limit your periods to once a year. Wish you good health!
