No: A thromobosed hemorrhoid can cause rectal bleeding but being on warfarin increases the risk of prolonged bleeding. You should be evaluated as soon as possible.

Today I had bright red blood wrapped over my stool, looked like clots/red mucus. I went to the ER but found nothing from rectal exam. They referred me to a gastroenterologist if it persisted. Does this type of bleeding sound like hemorrhoids?
