How My Lady Business Can Help You
Iron deficiency anemia is a condition that many women face, yet it often goes unnoticed or misdiagnosed. At My Lady Business, led by Dr. Tina Marie, we understand that being a woman of color in today’s world means facing unique health challenges. Our fully virtual medical practice provides culturally relevant and compassionate care to women in Oklahoma City and beyond, especially those struggling with iron deficiency anemia.
What is Iron Deficiency Anemia?
Iron deficiency anemia occurs when your body doesn’t have enough iron to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Without enough iron, your body can’t get the oxygen it needs, leaving you feeling fatigued, weak, and sometimes even dizzy. While anyone can experience this condition, women of childbearing age, especially those who are pregnant, menstruating, or have heavy periods, are particularly at risk.
How Does Iron Deficiency Anemia Affect Women’s Health?
For many women, the signs of iron deficiency anemia are subtle at first, making it difficult to pinpoint. Common symptoms include:
- Fatigue: Feeling tired all the time, even after a full night’s rest.
- Paleness: Your skin and the inside of your eyelids may appear paler than usual.
- Shortness of Breath: Even mild physical activity can leave you winded.
- Headaches and Dizziness: These can result from your body not getting enough oxygen.
- Cold Hands and Feet: Poor circulation can lead to feelings of coldness in your extremities.
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it could be time to consider a consultation with Dr. Tina Marie at My Lady Business. Our goal is to provide you with personalized care plans that address the root causes of your symptoms, not just treat the symptoms themselves.
Why Women of Color Are at Greater Risk for Iron Deficiency Anemia
Women of color often face additional health challenges that make iron deficiency anemia more prevalent. From dietary habits influenced by culture and lifestyle to underrepresentation in medical research, many women of color do not receive the tailored care they need to address health issues like anemia. My Lady Business was founded to bridge that gap by offering culturally competent care that acknowledges the specific health needs of women of color.
