Need to examine: A person can lose enough blood from hemorrhoids to become anemic. You are also losing blood with your periods. See your doctor to get the hemorrhoids treated. Take iron and multivitamins to replenish your iron. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine.
