What is the cause of nosebleed

Nosebleeds are a common problem, but we cannot ignore the knowledge and understanding of the causes. For example, young people nowadays may have nosebleeds due to fatigue or carelessness during exercise. However, if the nosebleed is of unknown cause, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. When your nose is bleeding, you can plug your nose with a sanitary napkin 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.

4. Nosebleeds in young people are also related to fatigue, exercise, etc. Especially young people who love sports often have their noses suddenly bleed while exercising. Generally speaking, patients can stop bleeding on their own. However, if you have a sudden nosebleed without any warning, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out lesions such as nasal tumors as soon as possible.

5. Generally speaking, nasal bleeding due to ruptured blood vessels does not require special treatment. Professor Yang Li said that since nose bleeding is related to lung heat, people should try their best to avoid situations that may cause lung heat in their diet and lifestyle. Drink less alcohol, eat less spicy food, and eat less food that may generate heat. On the contrary, you can eat more foods that clear away heat and reduce fire, such as bitter melon, mung bean soup, watermelon, cold drinks, etc. Take 3 grams of winter mulberry leaves, add Imperata root and Ophiopogon japonicus, and then add some licorice, and use them to make tea, which can achieve the purpose of clearing heat and reducing fire.
