What Causes Heavy Nosebleeds After An Adenoidectomy?

Hello,
Usually, after adenoidectomy there is a nose bleed so nasal packing is required. Probably secondary infection or blowing vigorously may cause nose bleed. Also dryness of nasal mucosa with nasal pricking may cause bleeding.
Please consult your ENT specialist, he/she will examine through nasal endoscopy and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
