Hello

Don't afraid of sex during period. It is not that harmful as people think.
Sex during period can increases the chance of getting or spreading sexually transmitted disease as there is contact with the blood. During menstruation the acidity of vagina decreases and that also increases the risk of infection.Otherwise it is safe to have sex during the periods.

In case of anemia due to iron deficiency if it is not very severe, supplementation of iron in the form of syrup or tablets and iron rich foods is the treatment.
Please consult your physician to find out the cause of anemia,whether it is due to decrease intake or increased loss.
Don't scare as there is nothing to worry at all.
Regards
