Accepted Answer

Question 3

what cause a nose bleed ?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Nose bleeds can be spontaneous if the nasal passages are too dry.  Nose bleeds can occur from nose picking, trauma from probing into the nose and direct trauma. Less common causes are in relationship to the menstrual cycle, and sometimes due to uncommon nasal tumors such as polyps.  If you have these recurrently, then you should see an ENT doctor for a better diagnosis and treatment.

Question 4

what causes a nose bleed in a child?

Accepted Answer

Nose-picking/rubbing: Their finger nails are thin and razor-sharp.  When the inside of nose is itchy/dry, picking the inside of nose and/or rubbing it hard can cause bleeding. It is  very common. If bleeding stops quickly, i would not worry. Just make sure that the nose is kept nosturized in dry/cold weather and treat allergies/cold symptoms to minimize itching, thus picking/rubbing. If worse, consult doc. Good luck.

Question 5

how come my nose bleed when i pick it?

Accepted Answer

Nose bleed: Picking one’s nose  can traumatize the lining of the nose if it is done too forcefully or if the finger is poked too far back. Finger nails can scratch the tissues. Nose picking can also knock off a clot / scab that is already present.

Question 6

i have a nose bleed, what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: Nosebleeds can be due to many things that cause one of the little veins on the inside of a nose (usually the middle septum) to crack and leak temporarily. Heavy breathing in sports, hot or cold air, allergies, nose-picking, colds, constipation straining, etc..., are some causes of nosebleeds. She who bleeds "too often" or "too long" can have her blood checked to see if her blood clots too slowly.

Question 7

nose bleed 3x in the last week with sore head?

Accepted Answer

Epistaxis: Epistaxis (nosebleeds) 3 times in the week indicates there is a definite area in your nasal cavity that is prone to inflammation and bleeding, in your case most likely due to a sinus infection. Sometimes, the body will heal itself, but if it persists as in your case, there may need to be an area that should be cauterized to assure the stoppage of bleeding.  Best wishes.

Question 8

can u vomit hard enough to cause a nose bleed?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Vomiting raises blood pressure transiently in the nasal blood vessels which can then be more likely to bleed. If bleeding happens often you should be evaluated by your doctor.

Question 9

can drinking too much alcohol cause nose bleed?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You may be inducing  vitamin b1 deficiency that makes the nasal capillaries fragile.

Question 10

is it worth a trip to the doctor for nose bleed?

Accepted Answer

Trip to doctor: I think all visits to doctor are worth it. Besides making a diagnosis and being reassured it is an oportunity to find more about what is going on.Sometimes what appears to be simple hides something serious.
