4. Heavy Periods
This isn’t so much a symptom as it is a cause, but if you’re looking for evidence as to what might be going wrong, then heavy periods could be something important to look out for.
That’s because women who experience very heavy periods are of course going to lose a lot of blood when they do. If this keeps happening to a large extent every month, then eventually the body can struggle to ‘bounce back’, resulting in an iron deficiency and many of the issues we see here.
That’s why women who do experience very heavy periods are often recommended to use an iron supplement, to counteract those effects somewhat.
