Question

i did my septoplasty a month ago. i still have stuffed nose with a very sticky nasal discharge and small amount of blood. is this normal? what can i do to control it. i normally clean my nose with normal water.

Bleeding and drainage one month after septoplasty is uncommon. I  recommend you followup with your surgeon so they can evaluate your nose and septum and ensure that you are healing normally. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Post nasal surgery some bleeding and blockage can occur.  Nasal rinses and good post op care are often all that is required and over time the nose heals.
