Nasal crusts are usually one of the manay causes for nasal block post nasal surgery . If u hav tried to remove the crusts it would have caused bleeding . However there are multiple other causes for nasal bleed including infection. I advise u to visit your operating surgeon for further evaluation and management
Next Steps

Hello,
Nasal bleeding is not a normal thing, it may occur due to vigorously blowout of mucus or by nasal pricking.
Bleeding itself had a lot of causes.
Coming to your nasal blockage, it may be because of nasal crusting due to the silastic sheet.
Did u use any nasal spray after the septoplasty?
Do you have any allergic symtpoms?
Because allergy is most often a cause for nasal blockage after septum or turbinate surgery.
Till you visit your operative surgeon start Nasal drops to stop bleeding.
Health Tips
Best Advice is to visit your operative surgeon and get your nasal endoscopy done to find out the cause and get your treatment properly.
