WOMEN and Anemia!

Women of childbearing age represent one of the highest risk groups for developing anemia,usually caused by blood loss due to menstruation or increased hemoglobin needs due to pregnancy. Men and children are not an exception to Anemia but the causes of theirs are numerous but not menstraution. Anemia is determined medically but you might suspect you are anemic if you experience dizziness,fatigue,light headedness, palpitation ( you notice your heart beats faster than usual).
Usually,the average amount of blood loss per period is 10 to 35 ml, that means it is normal to soak one to seven normal-sized pads or tampons in a day ( Each normal pad holds about 5mls of blood) for 3 to 7 days per cycle. If your period flows heavier than described above and lasts longer than 7 days, you have menorrhagia( excessively heavy and prolonged menstrual periods) and should go to the hospital and see a Doctor.
Common causes of Menorrhagia include :
-Hormonal imbalance
-Uterine fibroids
-Polycystic Ovarian syndrome ( PCOS)
-Intrauterine device (IUD), a contraceptive
-Pregnancy complications
-Cancer
-Etc.
Anemia kills in no time. Women,Look out for yourselves by
1) Eating lots of green leafy vegetables, dried fruits,beans etc.
2)Monitor your flow rate and seek medical attention if its out of normal.
3) Prevent the loss of blood through other conditions e.g malaria.If you have malaria,treat it urgently and thoroughly.
4)Watch out for signs of anemia mentioned above and go consult if you experience any.
Meanwhile stay blessed.
