Anemia is usually defined as a decrease in amount of red blood cells (RBCs) or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood.
It can also be defined as a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen.

The most common form of anemia is iron deficiency anemia which is usually due to chronic blood loss caused by excessive menstruation. Increased demands for iron, such as fetal growth in pregnancy, and children undergoing rapid growth spurts in infancy and adolescence, can also cause iron deficiency anemia.
