There are now several oral medications that prevent blood clots and act much like heparin.
These drugs can cause brain haemorrhage and other interesting side effects.
It is important to understand that they do not themselves cause bleeding. For bleeding, you need to damage the blood vessel wall.
In fact, you and I are made of a delicate jelly that constantly crumples and breaks.
Normally, our coagulation system instantly blocks any smallest blood leak. However, under the action of anticoagulant pills, even a microscopic hole in the vessel wall can bleed for a long time.
To pierce the vessel wall, it is not necessary to drill it from the inside or outside. Sometimes it is enough to simply poison the inner delicate lining of the vessel with a toxin or infection. It will rot away and a hole will appear.
It happens that little blood flows through the blood vessel due to shock. The vascular wall feeds on its own blood, so that from a lack of oxygen it will get sick and begin to fall apart.
There are also such small blood leaks in the brain. They are tiny but visible on CT scans. Many people who receive anticoagulants have some noticeable small bleeding in the head. Have you presented?
Usually they do not try to identify or make a tomogram. They just know it's there.
If bleeding begins, it often happens in the first three months from the start of taking the drug. No one knows exactly why this happens, but they suspect that all the existing weak points in the blood vessels immediately fall apart. Well, all the remaining places will already be stronger.
It is clear that if a person fell and banged his head on the floor, then this is a separate reason for a hematoma in the head.
Another important point is anti-inflammatory drugs. Aspirin does not work well with anticoagulants. Similarly, simple non-steroidal drugs like ibuprofen do not work well. They are like aspirin.
Please do not swallow anticoagulants without a doctor's prescription.
