What could cause sudden, severe bleeding from the ear seven days after surgery to remove a non-cancerous ear cyst (cholesteatoma), even though my doctor found no active bleeding in my ear or surgical cut and prescribed me T. Pause?
Since your doctor found no active bleeding, this is very reassuring. Sometimes, a healing blood clot can shift or dissolve slightly as your ear heals, or a small blood vessel may temporarily open, causing a brief burst of blood that can look like a lot when mixed with normal ear fluids. Your doctor prescribed T. Pause (tranexamic acid) to help stabilize clots and prevent further bleeding. Please rest, avoid heavy lifting, and keep your ear dry. If you experience heavy, continuous bleeding, severe pain, or a fever, please contact your doctor or seek immediate medical care.
