Why do I nose bleed?

Question

I am 19 years old female.

Why do i nose bleed? Is it the symtoms of any illness?

Answer 1

The most common causes are dryness (often caused by indoor heat in the winter) and nose picking. These two things work together--nose picking occurs more often when mucus in the nose is dry and crusty.

Other, less common, causes include injuries, colds, allergies or cocaine use. Children may stick small objects up the nose. Older people may have atherosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"), infections, high blood pressure and blood clotting disorders, or they may be taking drugs like aspirin that interfere with blood clotting. The cause of nosebleeds often can't be determined.
If it's a chronic condition,I would recommend seeing your family practitioner.

Causes Of A Nosebleed

Most nosebleeds (epistaxis) are mere nuisances. But some are quite frightening, and a few are even life threatening. Physicians classify nosebleeds into two different types.

Anterior nosebleed: Most nosebleeds begin in the lower part of the septum, the semi-rigid wall that separates the two nostrils of the nose. The septum contains blood vessels that can be broken by a blow to the nose or the edge of a sharp fingernail. This type of nosebleed comes from the front of the nose and begins with a flow of blood out one nostril when the patient is sitting or standing.

Posterior nosebleed: More rarely, a nosebleed can begin high and deep within the nose and flow down the back of the mouth and throat even if the patient is sitting or standing.
Additional Causes Of Nosebleeds:

* Allergies, infections, or dryness that cause itching and lead to picking of the nose.
* Vigorous nose blowing that ruptures superficial blood vessels in the elderly and in the young.
* Clotting disorders that run in families or are due to medications.
* Fractures of the nose or of the base of the skull that can cause bleeding and should be regarded seriously when the bleeding follows a head injury.
* Rarely, tumors (both malignant and nonmalignant) have to be considered, particularly in the older patient or in smokers.


Types Of Nosebleeds

Obviously, when the patient is lying down, even anterior (front of nasal cavity) nosebleeds may seem to flow posteriorly, especially if the patient is coughing or blowing his nose.

It is important to try to make the distinction since posterior (back of nasal cavity) nosebleeds are often more severe and almost always require a physician’s care. Posterior nosebleeds are more likely to occur in older people, persons with high blood pressure, and in cases of injury to the nose or face.

Anterior nosebleeds are common in dry climates or during the winter months when heated, dry indoor air dehydrates the nasal membranes. Dryness may result in crusting, cracking, and bleeding. This can be prevented if you place a bit of lubricating cream or ointment about the size of a pea on the end of your fingertip and then rub it inside the nose, especially on the middle portion of the nose (the septum).

I get nose bleeds alot too. It could be dry air or going from humid to dry air or even vice versa. Also the skin in your nose could be very thin and then you would be more prone to bleeding . I would have a doctor look at it and they might cloterize it. I do not think its to do with any illness mind didn't

Answer 4

Nah, nothing to get worried about... that is unless you lose about a pint... then go to the hospital.
You've got a myriad of major arteries and veins behind your nose. It's full of capillaries that can rupture easily and really make a scary mess. Do this to stop it:
Pinch your nose lightly.
Tilit you head back about 45 degrees.
Apply a cold compress with you free hand to your nose and relax.

It'll stop in quick fashion.
