What causes ulcers in the nose?

Ulcers are a very common disease in our lives. Many people have heard of oral ulcers, but few have heard of ulcers in the nose. In fact, most ulcers in the nose are caused by getting angry. You can take some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, or drink more water and eat less spicy and irritating foods. If the symptoms have not improved, it is best to go to the hospital to see a doctor and take medicine under the doctor's guidance.

Nasal mucosal ulcers should be prevented from the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the air in the working and living environment, and avoid contact with dust and chemical gases, especially harmful gases.

2. Strengthen nutrition and enhance positive energy.

3. Strengthen exercise and improve physical fitness. Exercise can improve blood circulation and prevent blood flow in the nasal concha from being blocked. Exercise regularly.

4. Get rid of the bad habit of picking your nose.

5. Correct all nasal deformities promptly. Such as deviated nasal septum, etc.

6. Cure the lesions and thoroughly treat chronic diseases such as tonsillitis and sinusitis.

7. Use nasal mucosa shrinkage agents with caution, especially do not use them continuously for a long time. (Nose drops, ephedrine, Bitong, furane nasal drops, etc.).

8. Reduce the irritation of cold air to the nasal mucosa and wear a mask when appropriate. After taking a bath, you should try to dry your hair before going to sleep to avoid catching a cold.

9. Keep warm. Climate change can easily cause colds and rhinitis. When seasons change, pay attention to the weather forecast and put on appropriate clothes in time.

Causes of nasal mucosal ulcers:

1. Ulcers and erosions of nasal mucosa. It is common in the anterior and inferior area of ​​the nasal septum and is mostly caused by chronic inflammation. Chemical gases, high temperatures, and dry air can all be triggers. In addition, the spinous or rectangular processes of the nasal septum, nasal septum perforation, and atrophic rhinitis can also cause local nasal mucosal ulcers and lead to bleeding.

2. Acute infection of nose and sinuses.

3. Trauma. Nasal trauma can cause tearing of the nasal mucosa and lead to nose bleeding. Extratraumatic fractures of the nasofrontoethmoidal orbital complex are often complicated by rupture of the anterior ethmoidal artery, which can cause bleeding in the upper nasal cavity. Skull base fractures can cause rupture of the internal carotid artery, forming traumatic pseudoaneurysm and severe transsphenoidal epistaxis. If the anterior cerebral artery ruptures in the anterior cranial fossa fracture, it may cause bleeding at the horizontal plate of the ethmoid bone at the top of the nasal cavity.

4. Tumor: Nosebleeds caused by tumors are mostly caused by ulceration of the tumor surface itself, and the degree of bleeding varies depending on the nature of the tumor. Fatal nosebleeds may occur when malignant tumors invade large blood vessels in the late stages.
