Yes: These parameters can be a result of iron deficiency anemia, but are only lab values, and not sufficient alone to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Serum iron and binding levels would be helpful, along with more clinical info and a full detailed history and perhaps a trial of supplementation. Good luck.

Anemia: If you have heavy menstrual cycles and don't take in enough iron, you could become anemic because of the heavy periods. To control the symptoms, you should find out if there are any reasons for the heavy periods and manage those symptoms. Taking iron is helpful to replenish the loss.
