Hello ma'am.
At times these things can be physiological, but it is best not to take such a presentation for granted. Most women involved in horse riding or other similar sports can cause damage to their hymen, which can result in bleeding despite being virgins.
I would advice an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound and an examination of her hormone levels. A pap smear and urine examination might also be beneficial to a certain extent.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
