Suggest Treatment For Bleeding Rectum After Having Blood Thinners
My husband started bleeding after taking xarelto blood thinner for 6 weeks, bleeding in the rectum. He had two pints of blood, his hemoglobin was 77, then after blood transfusion went to 92, then up to 102, ended up with thickening of the lining in his duodenum, left with a bad taste in his mouth, will this taste go away. He says it tastes sour at times, and now has indigestion which he never had before. Will this go away, he is 67 yrs old. He had his transfusion last Oct.
