Can an orgasm cause nose bleeds after Rhinoplasty?

Question

I'm over 2 weeks post op and healing very well. But I just got my first nose bleed. It happened right after I had an orgasm (no partner involved, no sex). Was it just a coincident or should I restrain from all of the sexual activity? Also, What do I do in a case of a nose bleed that doesn't require ER visit?

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

In the early part of healing the nose is more likely to bleed from any strenuous activity which could include even an orgasm as it increases the blood pressure in the body.  It is important to avoid such activity for at least 2 weeks and ideally one month.It can help to moisturize the inside of the nose using saline spray frequently during the healing part.RegardsDr. J

Anything that raises your heart rate or blood pressure, mazy cause bleeding. That is why we have patients refrain from exertion during the early post-op.
