Yes: Nasal polyps can bleed. You should consider an ENT evaluation and possible removal of the polyps.

Rarely: Unlike the normal nasal mucosa, which is rich in blood supply, a nasal polyps is usually poorly vascular and rarely if ever bleeds. If you have nasal polyposis and believe your are bleeding from them, see an ENT doctor ASAP.
