Many things can cause a person to become anemic, but there are three core problems that can cause the condition: 1  Excessive blood loss, such as: 2  Post-surgery recovery. Heavy menstrual cycles. 3  Your body is not producing enough red blood cells, or those produced are unhealthy. Common causes are:  Hormonal issues. Chronic disease.
Excessive bleeding is the most common cause of anemia. When blood is lost, the body quickly pulls water from tissues outside the bloodstream in an attempt to keep the blood vessels filled. As a result, the blood is diluted, and the hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in the total blood volume) is reduced.
