Dear patient Reason for your anemia is blood loss through menses. If that is not corrected anemia will persist. Reason for hemorrhagic needs to be found out. Visit to expert gynecologist would help.in that. If your family is completed hysterectomy will be better choice. Blood that is already lost will need replacement by means of blood transfusion. Start tab ferrous sulfate twice a day. Iron injections are also available for quick buildup of body storage of iron. Along with iron vitamin b12 tablets also should be taken and equally important is to take proteins in your diet. Iron vitamin b12 and protein are essential for red blood cells.
