Not related: Would expect possible vaginal bleeding while on warfarin, but I wouldn't now that you are off of it. Bleeding into the menopause always needs to be evaluated, so schedule an appointment with a gynecologist.

Talk to your doctor: If you were off Coumadin (warfarin) for a week, the bleeding should not be related to the drug. Coumadin (warfarin) goes away in 3-5 days. Were you started on another anticoagulant like pradaxa or xarelto. If you have had persistent bleeding you should see your surgeon and your OBGYN
