Iron deficiency is more common in women due to uterine bleeding, which affects them throughout their fertile life. Additionally, iron needs increase physiologically during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnant women therefore constitute one of the risk groups for iron deficiency. During the postpartum period, iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. Longer hospital stays and greater susceptibility to infections are potential consequences of postpartum anemia.
缺铁在女性中更为常见，原因是子宫出血，这在她们整个育龄期都会影响她们。此外，在怀孕和哺乳期间，铁的需求量会生理性增加。因此，孕妇是缺铁的风险群体之一。在产后期间，缺铁是贫血最常见的原因。住院时间延长和对感染的易感性增加是产后贫血的潜在后果。
