What are nose bleeds?
Nosebleeds tend to occur easily owing to the position of the nose and the closer-to-the-surface position of blood vessels in the lining of one’s nose. Dry air and nose picking are considered to be the most prevalent causes of bleeding from the nose. Epistaxis is usually described by the site of the bleed. There are predominantly two types of nosebleed and one is more critical than the other:
It begins in the front of the nose on the lower region of the wall separating the two passages of the nose (called the septum). As the capillaries and small blood veins in this frontal area of the nose are feeble and can easily rupture and bleed. This is the commonest form of nosebleed and is generally harmless. Anterior nosebleed is more prevalent among children and can be cured at home itself.
Causes of Anterior nosebleed –
- Picking of nose
- Blowing of nose harshly
- Slight injury to nose
- Stuffy or blocked nose
- Sinusitis
- Dry air
- Allergic rhinitis and non allergic rhinitis
- High altitude
- Excessive usage of nasal sprays and decongestants
- Deviated nasal septum
Posterior nosebleed arises deep inside the nose. This is triggered by a bleed in larger blood vessels in the hind part of the nose near the throat. Posterior nosebleed possibly can turn into a more serious nosebleed than anterior nosebleed. It can result in profuse bleeding, which may drip down the back of the throat. Common among the adults, this type of nosebleed requires immediate medical attention.
Causes of Posterior nosebleed –
- Blow to one’s head or a fall
- Broken nose
- Recently done nasal surgery
- Hardened arteries
- Medications that causes one to bleed easily
- Tumor in the nasal chamber
- Blood clotting abnormality
- Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
- Leukemia
