Causes of bleeding from the nose, first aid and prevention

Usually the symptoms of nasal bleeding on the background of hypertensive crisis stop on your own after lowering blood pressure. But so happens not always and to stop it we have to act on all three links for this problem. If such bleeding occur constantly, it is a signal of irregular treatment of hypertension and requires the selection of a more suitable medication.

Injuries of the nose

In the role of another causes of bleeding from nose are traumatic injuries. A clear gradation of strength of the traumatic factor exists, and can not be. This means that some people for the occurrence of bleeding is enough easy contact the outer or inner surface of the nose with a damaging element, in others it may occur only for very severe injuries. These abilities mainly depend on local anatomical features of the vessels and their structure. Deep-lying capillaries are less prone to rupture. But if it occurs, to stop the bleeding is so difficult. Superficial vessels are very easily injured, but even heavy bleeding are less problematic in respect to its stop.

Any tumor in the cavity of the nasopharynx, sooner or later, end the nosebleed. It can occur both spontaneously and when bismarkian or running loads. The bleeding may be preceded by copious mucous or brown discharge for a certain period of time. Of the primary tumors, which often can grow in the nasopharynx in elderly, isolated:

  1. Cancer;
  2. Adenocarcinoma (glandular cancer);
  3. Simple and malignancy (reborn, zlokachestvennykh) polyp;
  4. Tumors of bone (osteosarcoma, osteoma);
  5. The nasal form of endometriosis.

The last disease, though rare, but is of particular interest in relation to the cause of bleeding. It is based on degeneration of the nasal mucosa, which is identical to the structure of the inner lining of the uterus. Thus, with each such monthly women suffer a nosebleed.

Mental and physical stress

If a person is constantly in a state of physical or mental stress, sooner or later, this will lead to the failure of the mechanisms of autonomic regulation of vascular tone and blood pressure. As a result, frequent spontaneous bleeding that occurs when a change in body position, standing up from the bed, the normal inclination of a trunk forward. This increases the speed and volume of blood flow in the vessels of the head, which increases the local pressure. In terms of violations of their ability to change your tone and adapt to itfluctuations insolvent vessels simply burst, manifested by bleeding from the nose.

Diseases of the blood system

One of the main abilities of blood to remain in the lumen of the vessels is its coagulation. This is called hemostasis. Intended purpose of this system is to maintain the blood in a sufficiently viscous condition that it does not leave the vascular bed and was able to close the damaged blood vessels clots in case of damage. There are diseases, which are called coagulopathies. Symptoms of nasal bleeding can occur when:

  1. Hemophilia (a congenital defect of coagulation factors);
  2. Admission krovanistaya drugs;
  3. Thrombocytopenic purple;
  4. Clotting during pregnancy;
  5. Leukemia;
  6. Intoxication;

Frequent initial manifestation of all these diseases it becomes excessive bleeding from the nose, even without apparent reason.
