Causes of iron deficiency anemia include: 1  Blood loss. Blood contains iron within red blood cells. 2  A lack of iron in your diet. Your body regularly gets iron from the foods you eat. 3  An inability to absorb iron. Iron from food is absorbed into your bloodstream in your small intestine.  Pregnancy.
In women of childbearing age, the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia is a loss of iron in the blood due to heavy menstruation or pregnancy. A poor diet or certain intestinal diseases that affect how the body absorbs iron can also cause iron deficiency anemia. Doctors normally treat the condition with iron supplements or changes to diet.
