Does anemia affect the amount of menstrual bleeding?

Patient's question:

I previously had a thorough medical check-up at the hospital and was diagnosed with anemia, but I didn't take any medication for it. Recently, I've noticed that my menstrual flow has been decreasing. Could anemia be causing my menstrual flow to be less?

Doctor's answer:

The reasons that may lead to a decrease in menstrual flow could be anemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, intrauterine adhesions, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause of the decreased menstrual flow and then receive targeted treatment. People with anemia can consume more animal livers, animal blood, egg yolks, jujubes, black fungus, spinach, etc. to supplement iron and treat the condition. Generally, it can be replenished through food.
