4. Ear Polyps
Ear polyps, also known as aural polyps, grow in either the middle ear or ear canal and develop from the middle ear space or on the eardrum. When an ear polyp begins, it may appear red and bleed easily.3‘Aural Polyps.’ MedlinePlus - National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001638.htm.
The polyp can eventually interfere with hearing as it enlarges. A person might also notice blood seeping from the ear. Often, polyps stem from irritation in the ear, possibly from an chronic ear infections.4‘Clinical and Histopathological Study of Mass in Ear: A Study of Fifty Cases.’ US National Library of Medicine, 11 Feb. 2011, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3889359/.
