Does A Nasal Polyp Cause Nose Bleeding?

My doctor just informed me that I have a nasal polyp....I made an appointment for Tuesday of next week to see a Eye ear & nose specialist.....a few months ago my nose bled for about 2 minutes, then stopped....along with that, the last month or so I ve been very tired, no ambition. Just was wondering if the bleeding came from that polyp?

Hello,

Yes, nose bleeding may be caused by nasal polyps. Other possibilities like dryness of mucosa or hypertension or sinusitis or sneezing with excessive pressure or thrombocytopenia or drugs like warfarin etcetera.

Apply Nasoclear nasal saline, avoid sneezing use pressure over the nose to stop bleeding. If symptoms not improved, please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
