There are many tiny blood vessels present in the lining of the nose and when these blood vessels that are close to the surface gets damaged then bleeding takes place in the nose. Most of us simply take this nose bleeding very lightly but the nose bleeding could also be due to various medical conditions in us.
The various health conditions that could cause bleeding of our nose are
Due to acute sinusitis:
This could also be the health condition that could create nose bleeding in us. The cavities around our nasal passages become swollen and inflamed. Mucus gets build up and drainage is restricted. Breathing becomes tough in those who have acute sinusitis issue. The face and eyes becomes swollen. Nose bleeds due to nasal congestion in us and this would happen when we blow our nose. Thumb and fingers could be used to squeeze the soft portion of the nose and bleeding could be reduced. Make sure that the nostrils are closed.
Due to allergic rhintis:
It is known that certain allergens are responsible for the hay fever or allergic rhinitis in us. Mostly pollen is responsible for this allergic rhinitis. During this issue, inflammation in the lining of the nose take place and this could result in nose bleeding. This issue mainly takes place in the childhood period.
Due to nasal tumour:
People these day get affected by many tumours and nasal tumours is one such where nose bleeds. This is accompanied by blood stained mucous draining from the nose. It indicates the presence of nasal tumour. Various symptoms are nasal congestion, numbness of teeth, loss of smell, pain near eyes, blockage of one side of nose and bleeding of the nose.
