Many causes.: Anemia is the condition of low hemoglobin. Generally, anemia is caused by inadequate blood production, blood loss, or destruction of red cells. Each of these has multiple possible causes. The most common cause of anemia in U.S. young women is menstruation. Some causes of anemia are easily corrected; others can be quite serious. The precise cause of your anemia can't be determined via internet.

See doctor: determine the cause to determine treatment. It may be as simple as iron deficiency requiring supplementation, or it may be more complicated.
