Menstruation increases risk of iron deficiency: these are the signs

Women who menstruate have a greater chance of iron deficiency, according to Flair.nl. During menstruation, the body loses blood, which can also reduce the iron supply.

An iron deficiency can manifest in symptoms such as fatigue, pallor, or concentration problems. It is therefore important to remain alert to these signals.

Anyone who suspects they have an iron deficiency should consult a doctor. They can perform a blood test and possibly provide advice on diet or supplements.

A varied diet with iron-rich foods, such as spinach, red meat, and nuts, can help prevent or reduce a deficiency.
