What causes nosebleeds in adults

Nowadays, the pressure of life and work is relatively high. Many people still have irregular living habits and some bad eating habits, which will have a certain impact on the body. When there are some problems with the body, corresponding symptoms will appear, such as nosebleed is one of the symptoms. When nosebleed occurs, you must adjust your lifestyle and eating habits, especially in the hot summer.

Nosebleed in hot weather is not caused by internal heat

Heat is not the cause of nosebleeds. In summer, some people feel that their nasal cavity starts to become a little dry, and there is blood in their nasal discharge; in serious cases, the nose suddenly starts to bleed and cannot be stopped. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nosebleeds are caused by the upward flow of qi and blood. The nose belongs to the orifice of the lungs. Generally speaking, any nasal disease is closely related to abnormalities in the lungs, liver and other parts of the body. When a person's Qi and blood rise, especially when the lung Qi is hot, the person will have a nosebleed. When the lung qi is overheated, blood or bleeding may occur in the fundus of the eyes. The causes of getting angry and nosebleed are the same, both are the result of the upward flow of Qi and blood, but getting angry is not the cause of nosebleed.

Nosebleeds in summer are related to hot weather and dryness of the nasal cavity. When the nasal cavity is too dry, the capillaries inside will rupture and cause bleeding. From a clinical perspective, 90% of nosebleeds are vascular bleeding caused by blood vessel rupture. In this regard, patients do not need to be too nervous. In most cases, they can handle it themselves and stop the bleeding in time.

When your nose is bleeding, you can plug your nose with a tampon and tilt your head back to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. At the same time, you can also apply a cool towel to your forehead or nose to lower the temperature of your head and nose to relieve bleeding symptoms. If there is excessive bleeding in the nasal cavity and it is difficult to stop, you should see a doctor immediately.

How to stop nosebleed

1. Hook the middle finger to stop bleeding

When you have a nosebleed, quickly lower your head, hook the middle fingers of both hands together, and pull them with a little force. The bleeding will stop in about ten seconds. If the child cannot pull the middle finger actively, an adult can help hook the middle fingers of the child's left and right hands, which will also stop the bleeding quickly.

2. Compression to stop bleeding

Many nosebleeds are caused by the rupture of the mucosal blood vessels in the front of the nasal cavity. Therefore, as long as the blood vessels before the ruptured wound can be pressed to stop the bleeding, you can use some cotton swabs or cotton to press the upper gums, which can effectively control the nosebleed. The pressure time is 3 to 5 minutes, and you can release it after the ruptured mucosal blood vessels in the nasal cavity have stopped bleeding and scabbed.

Note: Do not rub your nose or blow your nose within one day after the bleeding stops.

3. Food to stop bleeding

Leek juice and fresh onion juice have a stimulating effect. You can apply the juice with a cotton swab and then insert it into the nasal cavity, which can also stop bleeding quickly.

Note: Eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, eat less spicy and dry foods, do not pick your nose, etc.

4. Lean forward

The most common thing to do when you have a nosebleed is to pinch your nose or block it to prevent the blood from coming out, then lean your body back slightly, and the bleeding will stop effectively after a few minutes.

Note: After the bleeding stops, there will be a coagulated blood clot in the nasal cavity. Be sure to take it out gently to avoid pulling the wound and causing it to bleed again.

5. Cooling and hemostasis

When you have a nosebleed, do not block your nose, just let it flow. You only need to apply a cool, wet towel on your forehead and back of the head respectively. This will lower the temperature in your forehead and nasal cavity, cause the blood vessels to shrink, slow down the blood flow, and have a good hemostatic effect.
