What happens if you dont have enough iron?

Answer 1

I am presuming you mean you have low blood hemoglobin levels. This is irondeficiency anemia. This is a symptom, not a disease. It can be seen in pregnant women and in women with heavy bleeding during periods. It is also a problem that has to be dealt with quickly in person who have had a blood loss during trauma. A bleeding ulcer and blood in the stool will cause this. In older folks who gradually start feeling less strong, some attention has to to paid to occult bleeding in the GI tract. This can be for both benign and malignant reasons. The older the person, the more one has to rule out colonic polyps and/ or tumors. To sum it all up, one needs to know why one has a low haemoglobin before treating "low iron". Low blood hemoglobin will result in weakness, loss of energy and is hard on the heart ( more blood has to be pumped to get the same amount of oxygen to the cellular level). If all the above are ruled out as possibilities, use the web to find foods high in iron content and change your diet. Iron supplements can be used and are helpful, but only small amounts are actually absorbed and they can cause nausea and constipation.
