Ladies’ menstrual periods start at about age 12, where they experience blood loss every month.
This is also a time when bones are still being built.

• Iron, Folic Acid and Vitamin B 12 deficiency can lead to anemia. A balanced diet and appropriate supplementation are important.
• During pre-menstruation, ladies may have increased appetite level. To avoid weight gain due to binge eating, taking small and frequent meals are helpful.
