Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Constipation is the most common cause for piles and bleeding through anus which causes low hemoglobin. My first advice to you is high fiber diet like almonds,oranges,prunes,bananas,flax seeds etc. About hemoglobin as she is having iron deficiency you need to give her iron and folic acid medication along with iron rich food like papaya,apple,jaggery,dry fruits etc.
Hope this answers your query.

Dr.Alekhya.
