Ear bleeding can be caused by various factors, including infections, trauma, and rare cases of ear cancer. Some of the most common causes of ear bleeding are:

• Ear infections: Bacteria or viruses in the middle ear can cause an ear infection, which makes the middle ear swell up and causes fluid to build up behind the eardrum. Pressure from the buildup can break open the eardrum, and fluid or blood might leak out.

• Ruptured eardrum: A tear or puncture in the eardrum can cause bleeding from the ear, along with symptoms like pain or discomfort in the ear, hearing loss, ringing in the ear, and nausea or vomiting caused by vertigo.

• Head injury or trauma: More severe injuries or traumas to the head may cause bleeding from the ears. These types of injuries are often due to an accident, a fall, or a sports injury. In cases when bleeding from the ears accompanies a head injury, the person may have a concussion.

• Foreign object in the ear: Any object in the ear, including small insects, may cause bleeding, infection, or discomfort. Typically, ear pain will resolve when the object is no longer in the ear.

• Ear cancer: While extremely rare, it is possible that blood coming from the ear canal could be due to cancer.

If you experience bleeding from your ear, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and undergo proper treatment.
