It depends on the type, severity, and cause of the anemia, as well as her age but to a lesser extent. For instance, if the type of anemia is iron deficiency anemia caused by menstruation and the severity is only mild, then she may not need treatment, just surveillance and dietary modifications, such as eating iron rich foods especially during menstrual time.
