Causes and prevention of bleeding in the middle and posterior nasal cavity

I believe that many friends often encounter bleeding from the back of the nose in their lives. Everyone must be curious, why does bleeding from the back of the nose suddenly occur? Could this be the beginning of another disease? How can I alleviate these symptoms? Let’s take a look at the causes and prevention of posterior nasal bleeding.

Causes:

The blood vessels in the nasal cavity of the elderly are hardened. When the blood pressure rises but before the cerebral blood vessels rupture, a blood vessel in the nasal cavity may rupture and cause nosebleeds. Therefore, elderly people with hypertension and arteriosclerosis should be particularly vigilant once nosebleeds occur to prevent cerebral hemorrhage.

Hypertensive nosebleeds often occur in the early morning or after activities, and the blood pressure of these patients is easily affected by mental and environmental changes. Because the bleeding site is in the posterior nasal cavity, the blood pressure is very high, the blood vessels are inelastic, and the bleeding is often severe, making it very difficult to stop the bleeding on your own.

prevention:

For elderly patients with nosebleeds, they should be comforted and asked to relax, remain calm, and spit out the blood in their mouths as much as possible to avoid irritating the stomach after swallowing and causing vomiting, which would aggravate the nosebleed. Some patients will become nervous when they see heavy bleeding, which will increase their blood pressure and cause continuous bleeding. The patient should be sent to the hospital in time for treatment such as hemostasis and blood pressure reduction.

The way to prevent nosebleeds is to hydrate your nose. If your nose feels dry and uncomfortable, you can wipe it gently with a towel or cotton dipped in warm water, or you can fumigate it with steam from boiling water. Usually, you should drink more boiled water and eat more fresh vegetables to enhance the elasticity of blood vessel walls, making them less likely to rupture and bleed. In addition, do not pick your nose with your fingers to avoid damaging the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa and causing them to rupture and bleed.

Diet therapy:

Recommended foods: 1. High-protein and nutritious foods; 2. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals; 3. High-calorie and easily digestible foods.

Foods to avoid: 1. Avoid eating greasy and indigestible foods; 2. Avoid eating fried, smoked, grilled, raw, cold, and spicy foods; 3. Avoid eating high-salt and high-fat foods.

From the above we know a lot about posterior nasal bleeding. If we encounter this situation in our lives, we should not be too anxious. See a doctor promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment. The important point is to maintain a good life and eating habits. Only when our work and rest schedule is reasonable and our diet is regular can we have a good body.
