10 Vitamin K Deficiency Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Heavy Menses
Heavy menses is another sign of vitamin K deficiency. Women that have vitamin K deficiency may experience heavy menstrual bleeding that may also go on for longer than normal. This can have serious adverse effects on their health.
Any woman whose periods go on for longer than one week should consider it as excessive menstrual flow. The same is also true if you must change the tampons or pads every few hours. If you have blood clots the size of a quarter or bigger, then you should be concerned. Heavy menstrual bleeding may lead to additional symptoms like tiredness, weakness, and even anemia.
