Anemia caused by iron deficiency, as mentioned earlier, should be considered from two aspects. The first is the change in the primary disease, for example, patients with gastrointestinal diseases may experience changes in the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric cancer or colon cancer, which may cause those changes. Some patients have hemorrhoids, recurrent bleeding leading to iron deficiency, and women may experience menstrual irregularities. These are symptoms of the primary disease. The second aspect is the symptoms of anemia caused by iron deficiency itself. Anemia caused by iron deficiency is a change in anemia, with an increased decomposition and metabolism of iron. Therefore, the symptoms of anemia may affect various systems throughout the body. For example, neurological effects can include dizziness, headaches, and poor concentration. In addition to children who may not focus during tutoring, these symptoms may also be present.
