Heavy bleeding and low Hemoglobin dull your shine!

When a female suffers from heavy flow or bleeding during her periods and changes pads or tampons every 2 hours, the condition is called menorrhagia. About 45% of females suffer heavy menstrual flow that not only affects their health, skin texture, and skin glow but also hampers their work productivity. In general, normal female has the menstrual cycle of 4 to 5 days and loses around 2 to 3 tablespoon (approximately 40 mL) of blood while female with menorrhagia suffers bleeding for more than 7 days with 5 to 6 tablespoon of blood loss (approximately 80 mL). During the periods, significant blood loss leads to low hemoglobin levels in the body thus, causing iron-deficiency anemia in females. A healthy female has the hemoglobin in the range of 12 to 15.5 g/dL which drops to less than 10 g/dL in anemic females with menorrhagia.

For the management of the condition, the doctors recommend iron supplements, dietary changes, and/or medications. These treatment options may affect the health of the female due to their side-effects like nausea and constipation with iron tablets. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your hemoglobins to check if iron supplements are increasing your hemoglobin levels and protect you from anemia. Hemoglobin also gives a red colour to the skin by carrying oxygen to the skin cells. When the hemoglobin levels are low, less oxygen reaches the cells and causes dullness to the skin. Monitoring and managing hemoglobin levels keep you safe from diseases like anemia and make your skin glow and radiant. Keep shining with TrueHb!

Low hemoglobin levels and anemia detection

Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells that carry oxygen to different parts of the body. A female who is suffering from menorrhagia experiences heavy menstrual bleeding. Heavy flow lowers the hemoglobin levels in the blood and causes anemia. The female may face symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pallor, shortness of breath, feeling cold, brittle nails, and dizziness.

Treatment and Management

When the hemoglobin levels drop due to heavy menstrual flow, doctors may recommend several treatments, such as iron supplements or medications to control bleeding, hormonal therapies, or surgical procedures. Assessment of hemoglobin levels is important to prevent hemoglobin loss and helps in the diagnosis and management of menorrhagia.

Monitoring Progress

When a female is on medication during menorrhagia, hemoglobin levels are checked to monitor the effectiveness of treatments to reduce the heavy flow and improve hemoglobin levels. Based on your hemoglobin levels, your doctor may recommend adjustments to treatment plans if required.

Prevention

Checking hemoglobin levels during menorrhagia can effectively monitor the drop in hemoglobin levels and help you to reduce the severity of heavy bleeding and prevent the risk of developing anemia.
