Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Vaginal Bleeding And Pressure In The Lower Abdomen?
My 42 yr old daughter has been taking Gabapentin for about a month, 300 mg for pain relief. She has a history of vaginal Rhabdomyosarcoma at the age of 15 mos. Had 50 radiation treatments and 2 yrs of chemo. Last Fri she started having vaginal bleeding even though she has never had a period. An ultra sound a number of yrs. ago did not show any female organs. They were very atrophied. Today the bleeding has increased and she is feeling a lot of bladder pressure. She is waiting to get an appt. with an oncologist ASAP. Could there be any problem with taking this new med causing the bleeding? I am sorry but being a senior citizen with multiple health problems I cannot afford to pay even $15.00. I have to wait for my SS in Oct. to pick up meds that I need now.

Hi,
Her symptoms can be due to cystitis infection/inflammation of bladder or possibility of secondary in the pelvic floor.
She needs immediate health evaluation by an expert gynecologist/Urologist at a Government run hospital (in case of money problem).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
