Is Blood In The Ears A Matter Of Concern?

I have blood discharge in my ear. Dr. in urgent care tried to cauterize it but it is coming from a spot he couldn t reach. first time this has happened, he is referring me to a ear, specialist. should I be concerned? I am on blood thinners due to a mitral valve replacement. my INR was very good today.
