Brief Answer:
No it does not.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

No, it does not. However chronic stomach inflammation due to hiatal hernia can cause it.
At your age, anemia can be caused by colon cancer or stomach cancer. That is why you definitely should have colonoscopy (extremely important) and gastroscopy done.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Colonoscopy should be repeated.

Detailed Answer:
Colonoscopy should be done every 10 years only if there is no symptoms at all. If there is anemia, it should be done once again. No doubt in that.
