What Causes Nose Bleed After Cataract Surgery?
I never have nose bleeds but two days after cataract surgery i woke up with nose bleeding as i take blood thinner meds it really bothered me ..it stopped and started again then stopped...as i did nt know what was happening i went to the hospital emergency doctor looked in my nose and said no sign of nose bleed recently...then can you explain to me where the blood could have come from ...could it be due to eye surgery...i had kind of a headache eye area and in nose..... i would just like to know and hope it was from surgery so i don t have to worry about getting that again

Hi,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that cataract surgery not responsible for the nasal bleeding.
But in your case, if your doctor prescribed painkiller especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug then it may be responsible.
Thanks
