Xarelto Bleeding: Abnormal bleeding including increased menses is not typical and should be checked with your regular doctor. I do not believe that a nice hot bath should cause any issues related to possible DVT, enjoy!

Answers: 1) As you are on a blood thinner medication it's not uncommon to have heavier bleeding through your periods. Nevertheless please do consult with your primary care or gynecologist to consider other causes of heavy bleeding. 2) Taking hot showers should not be affecting the possibility of having blood clots in deep veins. I hope these answers your question.
