I had a TURP (prostate op) on Oct 19th, only half completed due to heart acceleration.A week later with bloodless urine I was discharged and I resumed taking Dabigatran blood thinning tabs as I am in permanent AF. Immediately I started bleeding profusely from my bladder so I stopped taking the Dabigatran for 3 days (with the risk of a stroke due to the AF) and the bleeding stopped. However, starting the Dabigatran again precipitated the bleeding. This vicious circle has continued ever since. At the moment I am in
the bleeding cycle and wonder how long one has to risk stopping the blood thinners to enable the wound to heal. To partially offset the stroke risk I have begun to take 75mil aspirin but this is a milder blood thinning aging also. Any suggestions?

I would suggest whoever proposed a TURP knowing of your AF and blood-thinning treatment was effectively incompetant.
