Warfarin - coumadin -menstruation

Hi... I also was on Warfarin, but only for a month after undergoing an ablation. The procedure was on Jan.29 and i was put on warfarin for 30 days. I had a normal period in february but then in march it started and never really stopped. I've basically had my period for six months straight. could this possibly be from the warfarin to be going on for this long? Is there anything that could be done about this?

I've been on coumadin for almost 5 years now. During this time my periods have been "heavier", but did not last any longer than usual. I agree that you need to talk to your doctor or see a Gnyo.

You need to see a Gynaecologist.  He/She will find out the cause.  SIX months!?  Are you anemic now?  Do you top up with iron and vitamin C?  Check your Haemoglobin level, please.

One tablet of baby Aspirin can cause my period open up like a fuel pump.  My cardio ignored that but the Gynae told me, "DO NOT touch or close by any Aspirin."
