HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best to be reviewed by your doctor. Headaches are a possible complication of spinal tap but if it is severe then treatment is needed.

The vaginal bleeding is not a known complication so this would also need assessment by your gynecologist.
The spinal tap should not have affected these organs.

I hope this helps
