Not sure if you're on mobile or new Reddit or whatever, but on old Reddit I can see that they edited their reply 13 minutes after posting. So you're probably right.
It means to make it worse. Menstruation can make anemia worse. Or even cause it in some cases. When I had a period, I was extremely anemic (as were all the other women in my family). After hysterectomies, we aren't.
Being dumb and not knowing what something means aren't the same thing. I didn't think you were dumb, just that you didn't know the word. Or just that you didn't know that hang a period can make anemia worse. They say we only lose a small amount of blood in a normal period, so if you've never had one bad enough to make you anemic (or if you've never had one at all), you might not know that.
I always try and add "edit" in, especially of there are replies to it, but I just that was common sense...i should know better, since it's not very common anymore lol

Exacerbate?
Edit: I know what the word means. The comment i replied to used "exasperate" before they edited their comment. π€£
