What Causes Vaginal Bleeding When Sitting With History Of Breast Cancer?
My mom is 65 years old and a few days ago she was bleeding from her vagina. It wasn t a lot, but every 2 hours, she has to go to the bathroom. When she works around the house, she doesn t bleed, but the minute she sits down for some time, she bleeds. Plus, her back bothers her and when she goes to the bathroom, she bleeds. My mom had breast cancer, 2 years ago, but it was precancerous, which means that they got it before it could become a number. My question is could there be a link between her cancer and the vaginal bleeding, or is there something else. The other thing is she took a shower a few days ago and instead of using a vaginal soap, she used dove soap, and since then she has been bleeding. What could be causing the bleeding?

Your mother definitely needs to be investigated. There might not be a relation between her breast disease and present condition. Soaps and shampoos don't cause such symptoms. Most important thing is that she needs to be investigated for uterine cancer. Cancer uterus can present in this manner and she needs immediate medical attention before she becomes too anemic from loss of blood
