Qingbitang: Why is it easy to have nosebleeds in winter?

First, the winter weather and indoor air are dry, the nasal mucosa is prone to dryness, and the capillary walls will become fragile. Especially when washing your face, rubbing your nose vigorously may cause the nasal mucosa to rupture and bleed. Secondly, for patients with hypertension, the nasal blood vessel walls are thin and the blood vessels are not elastic. In addition, the cold winter weather can easily increase blood pressure, making the nose prone to bleeding.

Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there are some nosebleeds that are not related to the season and are caused by different diseases, so everyone should be extra careful.

Qingbitang: Other reasons for nosebleeds!

Nasal inflammation infection Nasal inflammation infection such as sinusitis and rhinitis, after the infection, the blood vessels swell, and the patient scratches and breaks the fragile capillaries and bleeds.

This type of patients usually also have runny nose, severe nasal congestion, facial pain, toothache, headache and fever.

2. Congenital nasal septum deviation If the nasal septum is congenitally deviated, the space on one side is narrower, the air flows faster, and it is easy to dry out. The skin here is thinner and prone to bleeding.

In fact, most people's nasal septum is slightly deviated, but it will not cause nosebleeds. Only a few people have serious conditions and will often suffer from nosebleeds.

3. Malignant tumors People over 40 years old are at high risk of nasopharyngeal cancer. More than 30% of nasopharyngeal cancer patients have nosebleeds as their first symptom, most of which are dark blood in their mucus. Physical examinations often reveal enlarged lymph nodes in the neck. Patients often have tinnitus, hearing loss, etc.

Fibroangioma nasopharyngeal angioma can cause heavy bleeding at the back of the nose. Most patients are between 10 and 25 years old and have been suffering from nosebleeds since they were young.

The amount of nosebleeds each time is large, and in severe cases it can be fatal. However, such cases are extremely rare.
