Hello,
I’m suffering from deep vein thrombosis diagnosed last May after my leg started suddenly swelling up. I’m is 40 and was prescribed Coumadin to control blood clotting and help dissolve existing blood clot. My doctor warned me that Coumadin might have effects on all types of bleeding, but that I shouldn’t be experiencing anything different regarding my menstrual cycle, mainly because I had Novasure procedure done before this whole thing started. My periods up until 4 days ago were barely noticeable and for four days now I’m experiencing very heavy bleeding that doesn’t show any signs of stopping. I called the doctor to see if I need to go to ER or what should I do, but he said to give it a day or two, since it seems that it’s possible that Coumadin caused my period to be heavier. But I don't know how long to wait before going to ER, or is this all normal?
