38名已婚及未婚妇女月经周期中血红蛋白及铁的损失

Hemglobin and Iron Losses in Menstrual Circles of Thirty-eight Married and Unmarried Women

妇女在正常月经周期中失血所引起的铁的损失,是影响铁代谢平衡的一个重要因素,如果铁平衡失调,很可能构成缺铁性低血色素或贫血,广东地处热带亚热带,大多妇女又参加生产劳动,除在正常条件下机体必要的铁排出外,正常月经周期铁的损失如何,很值得研究。

Total menstual bloods ofthirty eight married and unmarried women we-re collected with special prepared towels and the hemoglobin and iron contents were analysed with the method of Hallberg. The average blood losses of 15 unmarried women was 50.8±34.7 ml equal to iron losses of 19.6 ±13.5 mg in a circle, and the average blood and iron losses were 57.7±43.9ml and 522.6±17.5 mg respectively in 23 married women. There is no significant different of the blood losses between married and unmarried groups(p> 0.05). The estimation of the average losses of blood and iron for all groups were about 55.0±44.2 ml and 21.4±l5.9mg and was equal to about 0.7mg iron loss daily.
