Menorrhagia : Anemia from heavy periods can be treated with combination contraceptives and iron. Bleeding disorders should be excluded. Severe anemia should be treated with blood transfusions.

This is serious : Dr. Bonilla has given you good advice. It is important to rule out bleeding from a stomach ulcer or tumor. If you are a vegetarian, please educate yourself about supplements. Best wishes.
