A member asked:
Can menstrual cycle affect haemoglobin levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Over the years, a woman may develop iron deficiency anemia (low hemoglobin) due to long term blood loss in the periods, particularly if they are prolonged and profuse. That said, a doc doing an iron deficiency anemia workup should at least consider GI blood loss as well.
