Brief Answer:
Colonoscopy advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes the main concern is low hemoglobin and is due to the bleeding from rectal region.
She needs to get colonoscopy from a good gastroenterologist at the earliest.
Treatment of low hemoglobin will not be of help as it will again drop once again after the bleeding.
Regards
