Why are women prone to iron deficiency anemia?How to prevent it?
What is iron deficiency anemia
Iron deficiency anemia refersAnemia caused by reduction of red blood cell production.Clinically, small cells are characterized by low pigment anemia, decreased serum iron protein, and effective treatment of iron.
The amount of peoples need for iron varies from age and physiology.According to the standards of "Reference Invasion of Chinese Residents Dietary Nutrition", adult mens daily appropriate intake of iron is about 15mg; the appropriate intake of adult womens daily iron is about 20mg, because the special characteristics of womens physiological characteristics,It is more needed than men, so iron is also the only nutrients of all nutrients that are more recommended than mens nutrients.

Due to insufficient iron intake, poor absorption or excessive blood loss, it can cause iron deficiency anemia in childcare.
1. Insufficient iron intake : Partial eclipse, picky eaters, diet, insufficient iron -containing food intake can easily lead to insufficient iron intake.
2. During the menstrual period : Generally speakingThe blood volume is about 20-60 ml.If the menstrual period lasts more than one week and the menstrual cycle is short (20 ~ 26 days), the amount of blood loss during menstruation exceeds 80 ml, which may cause anemia.

Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia
1. Easy to tired: Red blood cell main main mainThe function is to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.The hemoglobin contained in red blood cells can be combined with oxygen to form oxygen hemoglobin, transporting oxygen to the tissue organs required by the body; at the same time, hemoglobin can also be combined with carbon dioxide to form carbon oxygen protein, transport carbon dioxide to the lungs from the body.Insufficient hemoglobin synthesis in patients with iron deficiency anemia, restricted oxygen transportation of red blood cells, oxygen needed by tissue organs cannot be supplied, symptoms such as fatigue and tiredness will occur. In severe cases, symptoms such as acceleration of heartbeat and drowsiness will occur.
2. Pleasing the skin and mucous membrane : Due to insufficient oxygen supply, the limited supply of blood in the body, the heart of the heart, the heart, etc.Wealth, and tissue organs that are more tolerant of hypoxia, such as skin, mucous membranes, etc., decreased, and manifested as white skin, end eyelid mucosa, etc., especially in lips, nails, and earlobe.
