Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sorry, about your father's health condition. Probably he may be suffering from liver dysfunction leading to clotting factors. It can lead to bleeding like cerebrovascular accident or stroke or intra-abdominal bleed etc. You need to replace clotting factors. Decompensated cirrhosis have very poor prognosis. Please consult your gastroentrologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
