Why Anemia in Women Is More Common - Magnolia Regional Health Center

Anemia occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough red blood cells, which move oxygen throughout the body, or when the cells don’t function properly. Learn why anemia in women is so common from MRHC.
Anemia occurs when your body doesn’t have enough red blood cells to effectively move oxygenated blood throughout the body or when the red blood cells you have don't carry the oxygen properly. As a result, the body’s organs don’t receive the oxygen they need, causing you to feel sluggish and weak. There are multiple types of anemia. The most common type of anemia is probably the one you’re familiar with—iron-deficiency anemia. But how does not having enough iron affect your red blood cells? Red blood cells contain an iron-rich protein called hemoglobin. (Fun fact: It’s also what makes blood red.) Hemoglobin allows your red blood cells to carry blood from your lungs to the rest of your body. The body requires iron to make hemoglobin. So, when you aren’t getting enough iron, your body can’t produce enough hemoglobin to move oxygenated blood efficiently.
