My husband had a deviated septum and went in for out patient surgery last Dec (2005). Ever since then he has had regular nose bleeds at times quite a lot, like it couldnt be stopped. He has since went to his doctor who offered no solution except to use afrin and only a day or two at a time. He does not use this on a regular basis. He is at his wits end as to what to do. What could be causing this? He only bleeds on the side where his surgery was. Is this normal or common for post surgeries of this nature?
