A significant injury can cause us to lose a significant volume of blood. When we lose blood, we will also lose the iron that is in that blood and it can take some time for the body to catch up and replace it. This will mean the patient no longer has the levels of iron in their blood that they need.

The body can also lose blood in other ways as well as injury, including some internal medical conditions. These include peptic ulcers, colon polyps, colon cancer, and hernias. The overuse of some types of medication can also cause internal bleeding, and some women can become anemic after their period.
