Ovulatory anemia is a common type of anemia that usually occurs in the middle of a woman's menstrual cycle. It's usually caused by malnutrition or iron deficiency, but it can also be caused by other factors. If you suspect you have ovulatory anemia, seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment usually includes dietary modifications and medications. Dietary modifications include increasing iron intake, for example by eating iron-rich foods such as red meat, chicken, fish, legumes and green leafy vegetables. Medical treatment includes oral iron or injectable iron. If you have ovulatory anemia, your doctor may recommend both treatment and dietary changes.

Ways to prevent anemia during ovulation include increasing iron intake and maintaining a good nutritional balance. If you are concerned that you have ovulatory anemia, seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
