If you're dealing with periods this heavy and painful, please go see a gynecologist and talk about starting birth control pills. It should help lighten the flow, which will help you maintain your iron levels while providing extra protection. Honestly, women struggling with heavy cycles often deal with severely low iron. Anemia can also crop up as a side effect of chronic inflammation. My husband actually had to undergo an ENT procedure recently, and his iron levels were surprisingly low, which was really strange for him. You absolutely need to be taking Vitamin C. Don't panic, though—just get a professional medical opinion and stop reading all that random literature online that only serves to confuse you. Good luck!👍
