Was just told I have iron defecient Anemia, etc. I am hearing conflicting information and am wondering if anyone knows the answer. First, can this kind of anemia cause Hair loss? Second, can it make menstural cycles longer?
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
It’s a Yes, to both your questions. Iron deficiency is the commonest cause of hair fall. Also this causes heavy periods which result in anemia and a vicious cycle is started.
Hope this helps. Take care!
From what I can see both are symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. You can go to the below link to find out more about it. I had it when I was pregnant both times and just had to take iron pills once a day. I hope the info helps! =)
