Hi,
Yes, this bleeding was most probably due to the fact that you are on coumadin. Coumadin or warfarin belongs to the class of medications called anticoagulants. It is sometimes referred to as a blood thinner.
I suggest consulting your doctor regarding the dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
