Having Internal Bleeding In Lower Abdomen. Black And Blue Scrotum, Penis And Pubic Area. Taking Plavex And Aspirin. Suggest

Well, my husband ended up in ER with internal bleeding in the lower left abdomen. He was in CCU for 5 days and then on the DOU floor for 3 days. Drs felt the bleeding had stopped. Hemoglobin finally stablized. And all other vitals held good. The only concern was to get his oxygen level up. He has been home now for 6 days, is moving around and his oxygen level is in the 90's! But he is black and blue in his scrotum, his penis and the pubic area and it is sore there; he complains that his lower back is uncomfortable. Is this the body disappating (sp?) the blood? Where will this blood go? Is it absorbed in the body? Come out like a bruise? The dismissing Dr. never explained this part and we never asked? He has a follow up appointment in two days. By the way, he was on plavex and aspirin and that is why they did not operate.

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I believe that the black and blue scrotum, penis and pubic area may be related to a slightly overdose of aspirin as well as plavix and a subsequent vigorous sexual activity that has resulted in blood excessively draining into the groin area. I think the bruise will go away with time and your husband has to visit with a doctor to get his INR levels checked and get on a regimen of medications to help stabilize his INR so that such a thing does not happen in the future. I am glad you have a follow up appointment with the doctor in a couple of days!

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
