Anemia is a condition in which the level of hemoglobin contained in red blood cells is low. The most frequently-seen type of anemia is iron-deficiency anemia. When there is less iron in the body, hemoglobin with the ability to carry oxygen is reduced, causing symptoms such as fatiguability (getting tired quickly), headache, shortness of breath and loss of motor coordination. Women need a lot of iron especially during menstruation and pregnancy.
