About 60% of all people have nosebleeds. But only 10% of the victims complain to the doctor about this case.
People are more likely to suffer from nosebleeds either before the age of 10 or between the ages of 45 and 65.
The older the victims, the more likely they are to rush to the hospital with their nosebleeds. Moreover, neither aspirin nor anticoagulants fundamentally affect the possibility of getting to the hospital. This can happen to any person of age.
Women under 50 are less likely to end up in the hospital with nosebleeds because their mucous membranes are protected by estrogens.
In 90% of cases, it bleeds from the front of the nose. This is called anterior bleeding. Well, that is, usually people consider as their nose what sticks out of their head. In fact, the nose is deeply rooted in the head and we can say that it is like an iceberg, which has only the top of the outside.
That is, there are deeper posterior bleeding, but they are less common, and there are more problems with them. You can't just climb there with your finger and press it. If it closes, then you will have to look for an otolaryngologist.
Several arteries meet and intertwine in the part of the face that sticks out of the head forward, and which we used to call our nose. From this plexus usually and bleeding.
There the vessels are located close to the surface, and there is not enough meat under the vessels for the vessel to hide there. So the vessel sticks out and can be damaged over and over again.
Why is it bleeding
More often than not, people simply open their noses with their fingernails. They swear they don't do anything like that, but they still pick it up over and over again.
At low relative humidity in the room, the nasal mucosa dries and cracks easily. This causes some people to have nosebleeds during the heating season.
If something mysterious causes the blood vessels in our nose to expand, then such an expanded vessel is easily damaged, and then blood flows from it in a stream. I have to go to the hospital.
What do you think can dilate the blood vessels in our nose? Right! Any inflammation: both an allergic rhinitis and a viral cold.
Trauma
If purulent snot flows along with the blood, then it is very possible that a person has stuffed some foreign object into it and does not recognize it. It happens.
Sometimes people poke their noses so persistently that they poke a hole in the nasal septum. I am not kidding. There are such amateurs. It is clear that our body seeks to close this hole and builds up granulation around it. These are such delicate lumpy lumps permeated with vessels, which are even easier to pick out. That is, then the granulations themselves bleed.
Sometimes a person is simply regularly hit on the nose, but not everyone around them knows about it.
Tumors
There is a whole list of various nasty things that grow in the nose and provoke bleeding.
Aneurysm
Sometimes there is an aneurysm in the nose. Have you heard how an aneurysm burst in someone's head, and got a cerebral hemorrhage? Well, the nose is just part of the head, and an aneurysm may be in the nose. This is such an enlargement of the artery. Like a bubble.
Heredity
Sometimes a person is born with a defect in the blood coagulation system, due to which there are various bleeding.
Medications
Anticoagulants, which for some reason people eat like candy, will easily cause nosebleeds.
Aspirin
But with aspirin, by the way, is a different story. Somehow it was not possible to prove that people who eat aspirin for years are noticeably more likely to get nosebleeds. Not everything is simple with this case.
Hypertension
It would seem, what is there to doubt, right? But no. It was only with great difficulty that it was possible to prove that people with high blood pressure are more likely to have nosebleeds. Some experts still believe that hypertension does not provoke bleeding, but if you deliberately open your nose, then, of course, this case will take longer for a hypertensive patient.
Alcohol
From it the risk of bleeding is higher. Plus, even in this state, it is easier to get on the nose or lose balance, fall and plow the asphalt with it.
Remedies for allergic rhinitis
Antiallergic hormonal sprays cause thinning of the nasal mucosa and often cause bleeding. This is openly written in the instructions for the preparations.
Heart failure
In 2014, they found that if a person's heart failure has deteriorated sharply, then the chances of getting the first nosebleed in their life increase dramatically. This is strange.
Briefly speaking
Do not pick your nose, humidify the air, do not heal without prescriptions.
