Don't have enough info. If it is a female could be adrenal causing
overproduction of estrogen and aplasitc anemia. Could also be a
bleeding ulcer, autoimmune disease, or many other things. Young
intact female also estrogen toxicity. Many possibilities. Blood
should be check too maybe even before an ultrasound. Good Luck. Hope
you find the answers.
