Been Anemic. Taking Etosys MF. What Alternate Medicine Can I Take?

Hi doctor, I am 34 yr old and been aneamic for last 10 years. My hb varies b/w 8&9. When ever I take iron supplements it goes up to 11.but when I stop it falls back quickly to 8. Recently when I met a gynaec.She advised me to use Etosys MF for 3-4 days starting from day 1. I have lots of clots during every cycle. So she said I need to control the bleeding to improve my hb. This month I used it from day 1 but found no difference in my bleeding but ended up with lot of abdominal pain, gas formation and diahorea. Pls advice as to whats apptopriate for me. I have 2 kids and my periods are regular so far and no other problem's. Bleeding is heavy(lots of clots) for 2 days and reduces from 3rd day.

1. heavy bleeding can be due to low hemoglobin as well as under active thyroid, so make sure your thyroid profile is within normal limits.
2. did your gynecologist done P.V. Examination and USG to rule out abnormalities of uterus?
3. if Hb% falls back every time, this could be due to associated heavy bleeding, make sure you don't have any other blood loosing pathology like (ulcer, piles, worm infestation)
4.
.Loha asav 15 ml with equal amount of water after meals.
. kaumarya asav 15ml
dashmoolarishta 15ml twice a day for painful/heavy bleeding.
Avoid: mustard oil,spicy/heavy/constipating/sour food,pickles,curd,black gram, anger,day time sleeping.
