Should Xarelto Be Ceased While Having A Bruise On The Lower Abdomen?
I have broad bruising area ( about 5 x8 ) on my lower abdomen. I believe it resulted from straining from severe cough. A complicating factor is that I am on the blood thinner Xoralto for Atrial flutter condition. Do I need immediate care such as e.r. or should I stop the Xoralto for a few days to help this condition go away? Or? Thank you
Stopping the blood thinners is risky in your case as it might lead to a thrombus formation and embolism. If the lesion is decreasing in size, no need to stop the drug. You can poly warm compression for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
