Is Surgery Needed For Nosebleeds While Having Mucous Retention Cyst In Sinus?

Back in 2012, I had and MRI done. The findings were a moderate sized mucous retention cyst noted in the floor of left maxillary sinus. I have recently been having nosebleeds. The first one, was about three weeks ago which lasted about one hour. This morning around 8:00am i experienced another one which stopped at 10 minutes. Then at noon another nosebleed which lasted about 10 minutes. At 6:00pm this evening, it started bleeding all over again, this time it was profuse and lasted almost an hour with alot of clots. I am a 61 year old woman. Do I need surgery?

hello madam,
bleeding and that too with clots is not a good sign.
better do visit an otorhinolaryngologist for detailed examination.
they will guide you better.
one of the reasons for bleeding through nose is high blood pressure.
so visit a doctor and get your blood pressure examined.
do follow the treatment meticulously.
things will be better
