Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains one of the most prevalent nutritional and hematological disorders worldwide, particularly among women of reproductive age. This population is uniquely vulnerable due to physiological demands such as menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation. Moreover, various gynecological conditions—including abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome—significantly contribute to iron loss and impaired iron metabolism. This article aims to explore the prevalence of IDA in reproductive-aged women and its relationship with gynecological disorders. A comprehensive review of clinical and epidemiological data is presented, highlighting diagnostic approaches, pathophysiological mechanisms, and management strategies. The findings emphasize the importance of early detection and integrated gynecological and hematological care.
