Clexane and bleeding hemorrhoids

Good morning ladies

I’ve had hemorrhoids since 1st trimester (currently 34+6 weeks) but they’ve never really caused any problems other than a few drops of blood when I wipe, no pain or anything else.

I’m on 150mg aspirin and was started on 40mg Clexane 12 days ago (by a different consultant than the one I normally see) and said to continue till 6 weeks post partum. I went in on Sunday for change in movement and midwife didn’t understand why I was put on Clexane as I was only scoring 2 in the VTE score and said I should ask my consultant who I’m seeing next week if I should continue or not.
With clexane I’ve had the usual bruising and feels like I have “lumps” where I inject myself in the thighs.

I’m not constipated anymore as I was in 1st trimester but this morning when I went to have bowel movement there was fresh red blood when I wiped, more than I’m used to. I got scared and thought I was bleeding from vaginal area as well (sorry TMI) but nothing from vagina only from anal passage. It’s not in my underwear and was only when I wiped.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I will call midwife at the hospital later but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this with clexane?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, yes me. What did your midwife say? I’m stressing! Hope your going okay

Hi @Erin91 I spoke to another consultant at my 36 week appointment who said the same as midwife, so I stopped it.

Are you bleeding? Have you spoken to midwife?
