Taking Aspirin And Nurofen. Stopped Taking Warfrin For DVT. Noticed Bleeding From Anus. Cause?
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to healthcare magic!
I would like to inform you that in your case a bleeding from anus must be reviewed by a local physician and the treatment must be balanced.
If there is a local cause of bleeding like hemorrhoids/piles then they should be treated emergently because the per rectal bleed may hamper the treatment decisions for DVT.
You had a DVT very recently and ideally you should continue Warfarin for three months and then assess the DVT before switching to Aspirin.
It is good that you are going to see the GP soon.
I hope you would get benefited with my advise.
Wish you a good health.
