What happened in the end please? I am on Eliquis for VTOS and my hemorrhoid is bleeding quite badly. There are splashes in the loo and the water is turning red. Saw a doctor for it a few months ago when it first happened and he told me to stop taking my thinners for a few days but I can't keep doing that! Did yours resolve, and how much blood did you have please?
