Eliquis Afib Afibrilation Urine Clots Inprostate Bleeding

Hello - my dad was treated for prostate cancer 5 years ago via radiation and is in remission. He also is dealing with atrial fibrillation and is taking eliquis to counteract this. However, he recently has been bleeding quite a lot / passing blood in his urine / passing bloodclots and just had to have a transfusion to fight against the blood loss. The doctors are trying to find a remedy to stop this bleeding (they have said that around 5 years post prostate radiation treatment blood in your urine and clots can occur). The main issue is that my dad does not want to stop his eliquis in fear of a stroke and obviously wants to cease the non stop bleeding he is passing through his urine. Has anyone else experienced this? Prostate cancer with bleeding years later / A-fib / eliquis where they have found a way to stop the bleeding while continuing the medication for a-fib? Any info / comments would be greatly appreciated. Our worry is where does it stop? Just continual bleeding is obviously not a good ending. Thanks in advance to anyone on this forum.

While I understand his fear of a stroke, or other clotting issue, the bleeding is also something that can put his life at risk, so he should follow his doctor's instructions because they may want him to stop taking it for a few days, to get the bleeding to stop.

Yes, the bleeding is common, after such treatment, it is usually rectal, or in the urine.

Is he on any other medications?
