Is it possible to become anemic after Septoplasty? Who do I go see for my issue? (Photo)

desirees7Jul 17, 2017
I had a septoplasty a month ago while I was menstrating. My nose bled 4 weeks after surgery with a gusher nose bleed. Last week I had my menstrual cycle. I have been extremely fatigue and have had a migraine for a week straight. I also have Polycystic ovarian syndrome. Who do I go see to treat this or atleast help me get some answers?

Septoplasty swelling is usually intranasal. Start with saline spray wash inside the nose, followed by SwellX tablets to reduce swelling.Our office specializes in Hidef septorhinoplasty.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Mucosa or scar tissue will regrow, prompting reepithelialization. I would suggest intranasal spray and even PRP to help improve healing. Best,Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

You may still have residual swelling intranasally and in the soft tissue. I would suggest Kenalog IIT, SwellX to reduce swelling, and an intranasal inspection prior to corrective surgery.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
