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.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
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
