Symptoms of copper deficiency in women

Compared with men, women are always weaker and more susceptible to illness. Just like Lin Daiyu in ancient novels, she is the image of a sick beauty. From her first appearance to the final ending, every time she appears, she has a kind of morbid beauty. If women want to have good physical fitness, they must have essential vital elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and selenium. Due to high work pressure and difficult housework, women may suffer from copper deficiency. What are the symptoms of copper deficiency in women?

Copper is an indispensable trace element for the human body . It can constitute a coenzyme of multiple enzymes in the human body and is also involved in the metabolism of bones, epiphyses and connective tissues. Once copper deficiency occurs, it will cause a variety of symptoms. So, what are the symptoms of copper deficiency in women? Here is some relevant knowledge for your reference:

1. Generally speaking, adults rarely experience this symptom, but some adult women may suffer from copper deficiency due to improper diet or nutrient absorption disorders. Copper deficiency anemia is the most common problem for women with copper deficiency. It can usually manifest as pale complexion, loss of appetite, weakness in the limbs, fatigue, mental depression, chronic diarrhea and hepatosplenomegaly. Young girls may also have symptoms of slow growth and development. These clinical manifestations are mainly related to the reduced activity of copper-containing enzymes in the body. When the body is copper deficient, hypochromic microcytic anemia may occur. Although patients may experience iron-deficiency-like symptoms of reduced hemoglobin synthesis, iron treatment is ineffective. At the same time, because copper is also involved in the metabolism of the body's bones, epiphyseal cartilage and connective tissue, and epiphyseal cartilage is also a factor that determines height growth, a decrease in serum copper content will cause the growth of epiphyseal cartilage to be restricted, and may even lead to stagnation. If not treated in time, it will affect physical development and cause the child to be lower than normal.

2. Symptoms of copper deficiency in women include brittle, dry, easily broken hair , skin pigmentation loss, light hair color, alopecia areata, etc. At the same time, anemia caused by copper deficiency can also lead to a decline in women's physical fitness, and affect endocrine levels and reproductive system functions, and may cause symptoms such as irregular menstruation and infertility.

The above are some of the symptoms of copper deficiency in women introduced to you today. I believe that after reading it, you will have a better understanding of this knowledge. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if you have similar symptoms but are not sure whether it is caused by copper deficiency, it is best to go to the relevant hospital for relevant examinations in time.
