Bloody stool on warfarin and chemotherapy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bloody stool: Bloody stool while on blood thinners (Coumadin) should be evaluated promptly. What I worry about is the start of a serious bleeding issue. Sure it could be just a hemorrhoid that popped but I wouldn't take the chance. Call an ambulance or have someone drive u to the ER now. I don't think u should drive in case u pass out with another bleeding episode. Take care.

Needs further eval: My concern is that you are able to notice the blood in your stool. I will recommend calling your oncologist for further evaluation, or better still going to the ER to make sure you do not have GI bleed.
