Vaginal Bleeding (Spotting) or Metrorrhagia occurs irregularly between the expected menstrual periods. It is often caused by hormone imbalance, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids. Some younger women can experience this problem also due to hormonal imbalance caused by emotional stress, anxiety, birth control medication, or abuse of street drugs.

The key point to focus is to make sure your hormonal system is in tune.

To replenish the lost iron, you can simply consume clams, oysters, spinach, cooked beans, lentils, and pumpkin seeds. Absorption of iron from food is affected by many factors. A key factor is the form of the iron. Heme irons that are mostly found in animal and seafood sources are more highly available for absorption than vegetable sources. Diet with iron foods along with iron supplements can have iron replenished faster.
