Pradaxa, rectal bleeding, external hemorrhoids

I have external hemorrhoids--sometimes they bleed, sometimes they itch, sometimes they're painful. I take psyllium husk fiber capsules and am "regular" and not constipated.

Could Pradaxa be causing the very slight but somewhat constant rectal "bleeding/spotting" I've had for the past 6 hours? (No fever, no abdominal pain, nothing abnormal except for the slight bleeding.)

I plan on calling my primary care doc in the morning when they open...right now, the time is around 5:00 a.m.

Thanks for any input!

Pradaxa doesn't cause bleeding, but once bleeding begins it can prolong it. In other words, the bleeding isn't because you're taking Pradaxa but the Pradaxa might be making it more of an issue than it would be otherwise.

Thank, Carey, for that helpful info! The little bit of bleeding stopped hours ago...and I don't think a call to my PCP is warranted--unless things start up again.
