Angela Weyand explains that "anemia is when your hemoglobin is low; it's incredibly prevalent and can cause a lot of problems, impacting oxygen delivery to tissues." This underscores the importance of diagnosing anemia correctly, as it can lead to serious symptoms, such as overwhelming fatigue, which many might overlook as a normal aspect of teenage life.
Weyand notes how "low iron levels may be to blame for fatigue in many adolescents, with menstruation posing a larger risk to iron levels than previously thought by doctors.” This highlights the need for health professionals to consider iron deficiency in their evaluations, especially for young women.
