How can pregnant women supplement iron if they are iron-deficient?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can pregnant women supplement iron if they are iron-deficient?

Doctor's answer:

It may be due to insufficient dietary intake, absorption barriers, excessive loss, increased demand, and other factors. It is recommended to consume more iron-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, lean meat, and animal liver, and to supplement with iron and vitamin C for treatment. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
