Every time I have a menstrual period I lose a lot of blood, and my iron and blood amount are low. My doctor said changing my diet won‘t help and I need supplements, but I have a phobia of iron pills and liquids.Will my iron and blood levels get lower every time I have my period?Also my past 2 menstrual periods have come 2 weeks early, will that also affect the iron problem?
I am anemic so my iron is naturally low, when I get my period its extremely low. You need to ask yourself, are you increasingly tired when you#x27;re on your period? If so you more than likely have an iron deficiency. I take a multivitamin every morning which has 100% of the iron my body needs daily, on top of that I take another 50% to keep my anemia in control. Without the iron in my body I would be drowsy or napping all day. There is nothing wrong with taking your daily dose of iron, after a couple days of building the iron back up in your body you#x27;ll feel more energized and won#x27;t want to go a day without taking your iron. Give it a chance, its not a drug its a natural vitamin your body just can#x27;t produce enough of so help you and your body out :-). I hope this helped.
Iron is in your blood. You are losing blood. Most menstruating women have fluctuating iron level around their period. If yours is extreme, take the supplements.
Take Geritol. You can get it at any pharmacy. It is a multi-vitamin supplement with an added iron supplement. It is sometimes prescribed for women who lose a lot of blood during menstruation.
