Hello,

Coumadin is good in maintaining your blood from clotting, but it's associated with many other problems including hemorrhage although in small amount. These might explain the lumps you do feel. The swollen belly could be due to water retention. Please check out with cardiologist, kidney doctor and check your liver as well. We should see which of these organs are having problem causing fluid retention. You have multiple problems that need to get re-evaluated by the specialists mentioned above.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
