THE IMPACT OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA ON THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE IN ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG WOMEN . (2026). Journal of Universal Science Research, 4(8), 36-39. https://doi.org/10.66301/8b6qyc32

Abstract

Based on a literature review, this article examines the impact of iron deficiency anemia— prevalent during adolescence and young adulthood—on the course of the menstrual cycle,  specifically parameters such as cycle length, amount of blood loss, and dysmenorrhea. It  highlights the bidirectional relationship between anemia and menstrual disorders: on one  hand, chronic blood loss during menstruation deepens anemia, and on the other hand,  cycle disorders worsen against the background of anemia. Recommendations regarding  the indirect impact of the problem on academic performance and methods for its 
prevention are also presented.
