Doctors have warned against ignoring certain visible signs on the face and body, such as pale lips and unexplained hair loss, stressing that these symptoms may indicate iron deficiency and disturbances in the levels of oxygen-carrying blood cells in the body.

Specialists explained that iron deficiency does not only affect the color of the lips and the inner eyelids, but also impacts hair health, leading to noticeable hair loss, dryness, and reduced density. It may also cause brittle nails that curve inward, dry skin, and the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
These symptoms may be accompanied by persistent fatigue, heart palpitations or shortness of breath, as well as slow wound healing.
Doctors emphasized the importance of consulting a physician upon noticing such signs and advised against taking iron supplements without medical supervision, in order to avoid potential health complications and to receive appropriate treatment based on laboratory tests.
