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

Question

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?

Thank you for your question.
It is unusual to loose significant amount of blood from a septoplasty procedure. You may want to get a hemoglobin and hematocrit to see if you are actually anemic. If so you will need to see your surgeon as well as your internist to find the reasons for this. All The Best !
