What are the side effects of blood-thinning medications? Are urinary bleeding and pain possible side effects?

Doctor's Answer

Blood-thinning medications can cause a patient to be more prone to bleeding episodes in general. This is because the ability of the blood to clot is compromised.

However, urinary bleeding and pain is not normal and signifies some issues in the urinary system. It is not a side effect of the medication. You should seek attention from a urologist promptly.
