The Diagnostic Process

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate no recent breastfeeding, recent breastfeeding or much recent breastfeeding, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as:

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Breast-feeding a baby can deplete iron stores.

Magnesium Requirement

Excessive lactation may create a significant amount of magnesium loss.
