DR JEN GUNTER: Why won't doctors offer period pain pill? Tranexamic acid costs the NHS 10p per pill, per patient, and is known to reduce period pain by roughly half. So why do so few patients know about it?
What are Heavy Periods? the commonest cause of in otherwise healthy women: Medically this is > 80ml (that's One Litre p.a.!!)
BUT HOW do you assess?
In this study the absorption capacity of menstrual products were assessed. A tampon = 20-30ml of blood, so if you are having to change regularly then this is likely HEAVY. One in three women have heavy periods, of whom HALF will be iron deficient.
Treatment is:
Tranexamic acid - an amino acid that stabilises blood and reduces blood loss by about a third. Cheap, safe & effective.

2๏ธโฃ Screening for Anemia in Female Athletes: A Game Changer ๐
๐ข With the Olympics only 3 days away, let's dive into a crucial topic: the need for anemia screening in exercising women. ๐
๐ก Understanding Anemia:
Anemia, characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin, affects about 1 in 3 women during their lifetime. Despite its prevalence, awareness is often lacking, impacting the physical performance of female athletes. Currently, there's no specific screening program for anemia in exercising women.
๐ Research Highlights:
A study by Dr. Cory Dugan assessed a simple screening tool to predict anemia in exercising women. The study involved 300 women at a UK fitness festival, using a Female Health Questionnaire (FHQ) and a fingerprick blood test to measure hemoglobin levels.
๐ Key Findings:
โพ12.3% of the women were found to have anemia.
โพ Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) was significantly associated with anemia.
โพ Women with anemia and HMB were more likely to take days off work due to symptoms.
๐ช Implications:
Screening for HMB and anemia in female athletes is crucial. Early identification and intervention can improve overall well-being and performance. The study suggests that a simple screening tool like the FHQ could effectively identify those at risk and provide necessary interventions.
๐ Why It Matters:
Anemia affects exercise performance by reducing work capacity and impacting VO2max, essential for optimal fitness. Addressing anemia helps women achieve their full potential in sports and fitness.
๐ฌ This research emphasizes the need for awareness, screening, and early intervention for anemia in exercising women. By tackling anemia, we can ensure female athletes continue to excel in their fitness journeys.

๐ฌ Popeye was Wrong ๐ฌ ๐จ Preliminary Findings ๐จ Spinach has long been touted as a superfood, famous for its iron content. But is it really the iron powerhouse it's made out to be? ๐ฅฌ๐ช
๐ The Background ๐ Iron deficiency is a common concern, with low ferritin levels indicating inadequate iron stores. To replenish these stores, one needs to absorb at least 1000mg of iron. But here's the catch: not all iron is created equal.
๐ Dietary Iron ๐ Iron comes in two forms: heme iron from meat and non-heme iron from plant-based sources like spinach. Heme iron, found in meat, is more easily absorbed by the gut, making it a preferable source. On the other hand, non-heme iron found in spinach is tightly bound and less bioavailable.
๐ฅฉ Red Meat vs. Spinach ๐ฅฉ Both 100g steak and 100g of spinach contain approximately 3.5mg of iron. However, due to differences in absorption rates, the body can absorb around 10-20% of iron from meat, but only 1-2% from spinach. This means that even though spinach contains iron, it falls short in meeting our iron needs. Unfortunately, Popeye was wrong and eating spinach is not a treatment for ๐พ
๐ Conclusion ๐ In summary, while spinach may not be the iron-rich superhero we once thought it was, it still has its place in a balanced diet. However, to combat iron deficiency, it's crucial to consult healthcare professionals for appropriate supplementation. ๐ก

๐ Iron Absorption: Unveiling the Mysteries of This Essential Mineral ๐ฉธ
Iron absorption is a fascinating and complex process that our bodies rely on to stay healthy and energized. Letโs dive into the journey of how iron makes its way from our food into our bloodstream, and explore the factors that can influence this vital process. ๐ฟ๐ฉธ
๐ The Journey Begins: Iron Absorption 101
Iron absorption kicks off in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine right after the stomach. Picture your stomach as a high-tech "acid washing machine" โ it uses its powerful acid (with a pH less than 1.8) to break down iron from the food we eat, creating a mix that flows into the duodenum. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฌ
๐ค๏ธ Pathways of Iron Absorption: The Two Routes
Iron takes one of two distinct pathways to get absorbed, much like passing through different gates at an airport.
1๏ธโฃHaem Iron (Animal-based sources): This type of iron has a VIP pass โ it uses a special transporter known as HCP (Haem Carrier Protein), acting like an "E-passport gate." Around 10-20% of haem iron gets absorbed this way. ๐ฅฉโ๏ธ
2๏ธโฃNon-Haem Iron (Plant-based sources): Non-haem iron needs more processing. It first undergoes reduction by an enzyme called Ferro-reductase and then enters the duodenum through a generic "gate" called DMT-1 (Divalent Metal Transporter 1), sharing this gate with other minerals like magnesium and zinc. Only about 1-2% of non-haem iron gets absorbed through this route. ๐ฅฆ๐ข
๐ Regulation and Transportation: The Iron Customs Control
Once inside the cells lining the gut, iron is stored in ferritin before it gets transported into the bloodstream. Here, Hepcidin plays the role of "customs control." It regulates the activity of ferroportin, the gate that exports iron into the blood, ensuring iron gets loaded onto transferrin and transported to where itโs needed. ๐๐งณ
โ๏ธ What Affects Iron Absorption?
Several factors can influence how well our bodies absorb iron:
1๏ธโฃAcid Suppression Medication: These can interfere with stomach acidity, reducing iron absorption. ๐
2๏ธโฃCoeliac Disease: This condition affects gut cells, particularly in the duodenum, hindering iron absorption. ๐ง
3๏ธโฃBariatric Surgery: Procedures like gastric sleeve or bypass can directly impact the absorption process. ๐ฅ
Remember, iron absorption doesn't happen through skin patches or sprays โ it all takes place in the duodenum!
Understanding the intricacies of iron absorption helps us appreciate the importance of maintaining adequate iron levels. As research continues, we'll uncover even more insights into this essential process. Stay curious and keep exploring! ๐งช๐ฌ๐ก
The First Line treatment for Heavy Periods is Tranexamic acid. Tranexamic acid is an amino-acid i.e. part of a protein, (like alanine / glutamine etc. common in drinks and supplements) its cheap and available in many countries from the pharmacist without the need for a doctors prescription. It works by stabilising blood loss and can reduce bleeding by a third. In many women it can be transformative. We recommend this to women with HMB that we see with
๐A very brief timeline: Evolution of Iron Treatment (From Hippocrates to Intravenous Iron Therapy) ๐
Iron therapy has come a long way since the days of ancient medicine. Let's take a journey through time to see how our understanding and treatment of iron deficiency have evolved. ๐
๐๏ธ๐๏ธ 460 BC: The Wisdom of Hippocrates ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
Hippocrates, often regarded as the father of medicine, made a profound statement:
"Those diseases which medicines do not cure, iron cures; those which iron cannot cure, fire cures; and those which fire cannot cure, are to be reckoned wholly incurable." ๐ฅ
This ancient wisdom highlights the importance of iron in treating various ailments. Hippocrates recognized iron as a critical element in health, laying the foundation for future medical discoveries.
๐ทโณ 1687: Iron Filings in Red Wine โณ๐ท
Fast forward to 1687, and we find an interesting, albeit unconventional, method of iron supplementation. People began adding iron filings to red wine ๐ท to boost their iron intake. This practice was based on the understanding that iron is vital for health and could be absorbed more readily when dissolved in wine.
While this method might seem peculiar today, it reflects the innovative spirit of early medicine. The idea was to combine the beneficial properties of red wine with the essential mineral iron, albeit in a rudimentary form.
๐๐ 2024: Intravenous Iron Therapy - The Gold Standard ๐๐
Today, we have come a long way from those ancient practices. Intravenous (IV) iron therapy has become the standard of care for treating iron deficiency and anemia, especially in cases where oral supplementation is inadequate or not tolerated. ๐ฅ
IV iron therapy is administered directly into the bloodstream, ensuring rapid and efficient delivery of iron to the body. This method is particularly beneficial for individuals with severe iron deficiency or chronic conditions that hinder iron absorption. The development of IV iron therapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape, providing a reliable and effective solution for those in need.
๐ฌ Iron in the Body: An Essential Element
Iron, symbolized as Fe in the periodic table, plays a crucial role in our bodies. Let's explore the distribution and functions of iron in the human body.
๐ฉธ Iron in Blood and Red Blood Cells
Iron is primarily found in red blood cells, specifically the protein called haemoglobin. Haemoglobin gives blood its red colour and enables the transport of oxygen throughout the body. In fact, approximately 2500 milligrams of iron are utilized in the production of haemoglobin.
๐ The Role of Mean Cell Volume (MCV)
MCV, or mean cell volume, refers to the average size of red blood cells. The level of haemoglobin within the cells directly impacts their size. A higher haemoglobin content results in a larger MCV. Conversely, iron deficiency leads to a gradual decrease in MCV over time, indicating a potential long-term iron deficiency.
โณ The Lifespan of Red Blood Cells
Red blood cells have an average lifespan of approximately four months. As these cells age, they become fragile and are eventually removed from circulation, by the spleen. The debris are excreted but the iron is recycled for future use.
๐ Iron Recycling and Storage
Iron is transported within the body by a protein called transferrin and stored in a protein called ferritin, which acts as a "biscuit tin," capable of holding around 1000 milligrams of iron. This reserve is sufficient for various purposes, such as supporting the growth of a baby or is enough to replace two liters of blood.
๐ก๏ธ Regulation of Iron Balance
Under normal circumstances, the body efficiently recycles iron, with only minimal natural losses (approximately 2-3 milligrams) through the skin and gut surface. The absorption of iron from the gut is regulated by a hormone called hepcidin. In healthy individuals, a blood ferritin level above 50 indicates stable absorption of approximately 2-3 milligrams per day..
๐ฉธ Iron Deficiency and Treatment
Iron depletion occurs as ferritin levels decline from 50 towards 30, hepcidin levels change, leading to an increase in absorption to 4-6 milligrams per day. In such cases, supplementation with a low-dose iron multivitamin combined with a well-balanced diet may be sufficient.
In cases of iron deficiency (ferritin
๐คฆโโ๏ธ ๐ Reference intervals for Diagnosing ID- the numbers donโt explain the change๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ
๐ There are over 100 different clinical definitions/models of iron deficiency severity that may be used to explain a blood test result ๐คฏ
๐งฌ Understanding that optimal iron status (and changes in oneโs iron status) is not a one-size-fits-all- is a crucial concept we instil at ๐งฌ
Knowledge of iron deficiency in the context of yourself (genetic make-up, physiological make-up, lifestyle) can be extremely beneficial as it may assist in early detection of iron status decline - allowing for preventative treatment ๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐
