Is it normal for my nose to hurt after a fracture 4 months ago and bleeds from time to time ?

Question

Had a fractured nose 4 months ago but now it still hurts and bleeds from time to time

Ahmet Alp, MD · Answer

After the nose is hit, capillary damage or sensitization may occur in some areas. Leaking bleeding may occur when you lift a little weight or spontaneously. The best choice would be to have consultation with your doctor.

Hello. Pain can happen but unusual as the bone is still in the healing process. Regarding bleeding, probably you have an exposed artery from the trauma that bleeds from time to time. I strongly recommend you get evaluated by an expert.

Hello, intranasal healing is slower than any part of the body. If you are experiencing bleeding from time to time probably your intranasal capillaries damaged. Unfortunately pain is normal after nasal fracture but it is better to see a recent nasal graphy to figure out the problem.

Good Morning! If it's been 4 months and still bleeds, I would have it evaluated to ensure nothing else is happening. A CT scan may be needed to see the nasal structure. An internal nasal exam may reveal more information. Sometimes, healing can take awhile. But, if you have concerns, seek medical consultation. Best of luck!

Hi and welcome to our forum!
A delay of healing or low grade infection may account for your circumstance. An internal nasal examination is required to determine its source and eliminate it.
Visit a board certified plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist for evaluation and treatment.
Best wishes...
