HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The use of anti coagulants can increase the risk of bleeding from different aspects of the body so it is possible that xarelto is contributing to your bleeding.

It would be best to speak to your doctor about possible discontinuation or alternative treatment.

I hope this helps
