What are the dangers of iron deficiency anemia in women?

Many women suffer from iron deficiency anemia due to heavy menstrual flow; others may suffer from malnutrition due to picky eating habits, which may also lead to iron deficiency anemia. When women suffer from iron deficiency anemia, they must pay attention to timely conditioning of the body. They can eat more red dates, spinach, pig blood, pig liver, etc., because this disease is very harmful to women's bodies.

Due to the lack of iron-containing enzymes and iron-dependent enzymes, the central nervous system functions may also become abnormal. For example, some women who were originally gentle, optimistic, cheerful and energetic may become prone to crying, irritable, and have a strange temper, or may be slow to react to external stimuli, have difficulty concentrating, and have memory loss. At this time, you should be alert to the possibility of "hidden iron deficiency."

For women of childbearing age, iron supplementation cannot be ignored. Pregnant women have to take in the nutrition of two generations and are prone to iron deficiency. 66% of pregnant women over 3 months suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Women with anemia have poorer resistance to infection and are more likely to develop complications during surgery and anesthesia. Anemia complications (such as uterine atony during delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, or secondary infection) are one of the main causes of maternal and neonatal mortality.

In addition to causing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia such as dizziness, weakness, and fatigue in pregnant women, iron deficiency in pregnant women also has a direct impact on the growth and development of the fetus and newborn. It can cause premature birth or anemia in the fetus and infant, leading to malnutrition and developmental delay, and even affecting their intelligence. Therefore, pregnant women should take appropriate iron supplements, which has positive significance for the health of both mother and baby.

There is a saying among the people that "nine out of ten women are afraid of the cold." One of the reasons is that women suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency in women's bodies can cause ischemia and hypoxia in various tissues of the body, disorders in blood circulation and metabolism. Insufficient blood supply will cause the body to produce insufficient heat and feel cold. Therefore, in the cold season, you should consume foods high in iron and vitamin C. People with anemia should take blood and iron supplements as appropriate, and at the same time increase fitness exercises.

It can be seen from this that the harm to women with iron deficiency anemia is still relatively large, especially for pregnant women, which will seriously endanger the intellectual development of the fetus. Therefore, once women find that they have iron deficiency anemia, they must pay great attention to it and replenish their bodies with iron in time to relieve the symptoms.
