Hello!

Thank you for the query.

As you take Coumadin (Warfarin), you should check your INR first. Bleeding from penis can be caused by elevated coagulation time.
As you are quedriplegic, I assume that you use catheter for urination. If so, doctor and have INR checked and urine analysis at first.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
