Minor cuts: Prolonged pressure on any wound will lead to clotting. Can also try styptic stick which is used for cuts during shaving. It does sting briefly. Lip balm or Vaseline has also been reportedly helpful.

Follow up question - would repeated pressure on the head/ neck area during intercourse be enough to cause a bleed if also taking Eliquis during that time?

Would having intercourse while on Eliquis cause a potential brain bleed? Especially if the position puts pressure on your head or neck?

A member asked:

I'm on Eliquis. I also have occipital neuralgia. During intercourse this week, I felt a shock up my neck as I was laying on my side. Would I aggravated the neuralgia? Because I am now having head aches & dizziness. Surely not bleed/Eliquis related?

A member asked:

I have occipital neuralgia & have recently begun Eliquis. After recent intercourse (laying on my side/neck) I've developed a bad neck ache/head ache. My hematologist says surely not a bleed/rupture caused by the Eliquis during intercourse. Thoughts??

A member asked:

Had to reword my question. On apixaban. Can a slight bump on the head, like bumping it to get into the car or a bump that doesn't knock me unconscious cause a brain bleed while on thinners? I'm paranoid now feeling like I need a helmet while on these?
