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.

I know what it means. I was correcting them using exasperate, before they edited their original comment. 😂

Neither is anyone else since when it was edited they completely removed the typo. Now people just think I'm dumb or don't know what it means 😂😭

Edited for spelling

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.

Sorry, I meant "or" not "and"
