As an oncology/hematology provider, I don’t treat iron deficiency as a supplement problem — I treat it as a clinical warning sign. In adults, iron deficiency is blood loss until proven otherwise. This is the framework I use: • confirm it’s real by trending labs over time • assess ferritin (iron storage) and iron saturation (usable iron) • check for hidden gastrointestinal bleeding • evaluate gynecologic causes — chronic iron deficiency is never “normal” • don’t forget urine testing for occult bl

Low iron and anemia are findings — not diagnoses. Yes, heavy menstrual bleeding can contribute. But assuming that’s the only cause is how serious conditions get missed. Iron deficiency and anemia can also be linked to: • GI blood loss • malabsorption • chronic inflammation • autoimmune disease • bone marrow disorders • and, in some cases, cancer In oncology, anemia is often one of the earliest lab clues that something deeper is going on. That’s why I never stop at “your period is heavy.” The que
