A member asked:

Sudden bleeding from the ears. what can cause that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?? conditions ??: If you were cleaning your ears with a q-tip or other object you could scratch the canal lining and get a bleed. If it followed pain in the ear it could be an ear drum rupture from a rapidly progressing ear infection. If neither are true i can't think of another cause.A trip to your pcp during regular hours should sort it out.
