HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, there are many reason behind the iron deficiency, like chronic infection, worm infestation, bleeding (heavy menses ), leaking of blood (oozing) these are the most likely conditions and that need to be investigated, from the clinical condition alone it is difficult to judge, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
