Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I exprienced severe abdominal pains after taking Pletal for 2 days and had emergency surgery for an obstructed bowel with bleeding. What could have caused this problem, because I was already taking Coumadin after heart surgery for CHF and aortic stenosis?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The bleeding of course is due to blood thinning medications you were taking while the obstruction is not related to them. Your doctor knows better the benefits of the medication and the contraindication. So continue to follow his councils.
Take care.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you.
Best regards.
