Women tend to have lower hemoglobin levels. In the absence of bleeding, iron deficiency anemia is the most common cause, especially in women with heavy menstrual flow. Other causes are: certain vitamin deficiencies (folic acid, B12), occult gastrointestinal bleeding, destruction of red blood cells caused by certain dieseases like autoimmune diseases, bone marrow failure due to malignancies, renal disease and hereditary diseases like sickle cell disease or Thallasemias...

What word means a condition in which the red blood cells do not contain enough hemoglobin?

The lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is attributed to anemia or iron deficiency. There is no actual condition in itself of lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin times three equals hematocrit, which is the volume of packed red blood cells. A low count of either indicates anemia. This could be the result of an iron deficiency or a protein deficiency, or it could mean internal bleeding. The etiology of the low hemoglobin needs to be determined.
