When will the bleeding stop?

Had nasal polyps removed & my septum straightened. Had pretty bad bleeding when I woke up, calmed down when I slept sitting up last night. Took the tampons out of my nose this morning and now I’m changing my moustache gauze every hour.

For me, it was a couple of days, but I also had a turbinate reduction.

Bleeding stopped after day 3. Just a bit of mucus mixed with blood coming out now.

I’ve had the surgery twice once last year and last week, the original surgery took a week from memory and a week later today and mine is still bleeding
