Here are the causes of nosebleeds:
Dry Air
Generally, the frequency of bleeding increases during seasonal transitions. Especially in the fall and winter months, due to the dry air, the skin in the nose dries and the capillaries crack. This is why bleeding occurs.
Snotting
We blow our nose to open a blocked nose and relieve the airway. However, the air pressure during blowing can crack the capillaries in the nose.
Vitamin K Deficiency
Vitamin K deficiency is usually gingiva and problems such as nosebleeds and hemorrhoids. The role of vitamin K is to help blood clotting. Vitamin K is abundant in foods such as dark green leafy vegetables, cabbage, cereals, broccoli, okra, carrots.
Bumps and bruises
Even if you are not aware of it, your nose may have been damaged in some way. Since the vessels in the nose are thin, it may be difficult to feel this at first. This may be the cause of bleeding later on. Try not to constantly wipe the injured surface and let it heal.
Medicines
Blood medicines can cause bleeding from the nose and gums as a side effect.
Liver and Coagulation Problems
Bleeding from the nose is seen in diseases that make clotting difficult, such as liver or hemophilia. In these diseases, the person's nose bleeds at random times and the bleeding continues for a long time without stopping. These disorders can be dangerous. Because patients may suffer from internal bleeding without realizing it.
Blood Pressure
High blood pressure puts pressure on the blood vessels, which can cause bleeding. If your bleeding is intense and lasts for more than 10 minutes, this can be a sign of a dangerous situation. In such a case, we recommend that you consult a doctor as soon as possible.
