What's wrong with nosebleeds in early stage nasopharyngeal cancer?

What happens if you have nosebleeds in early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer?

Nosebleeds in patients with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma may be caused by nasal dryness, trauma, or the disease itself.

1. Dry nose: It may be caused by environmental factors, too little drinking water, etc., which can cause the nasal mucosa to dry out and bleed, but generally the bleeding is not much. It can be relieved by using normal saline or using a humidifier to increase the humidity of the environment.

2. Trauma: When patients pick their noses, if their nails are sharp, it may cause damage to the nasal mucosa and bleeding. If the bleeding is minor, no special treatment is generally required, but attention should be paid to local hygiene to prevent infection, and the bleeding will usually stop gradually. If the bleeding is severe, you can use drugs such as tranexamic acid tablets, Yunnan Baiyao capsules, and vitamin K1 tablets to stop bleeding under the guidance of a doctor, or take drugs such as amoxicillin capsules and cefradine capsules to prevent infection.

3. The disease itself: In patients with early rhinitis, tumor cells generally invade the nasal mucosa and easily damage the nasal mucosa, which manifests as nasal symptoms such as bloody and nasal congestion. Radiotherapy can be used to control the development of the disease.

In addition to the above situations, it may also be the cause of the serious development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which should also be treated in time. After treatment, patients can go to the hospital for regular checkups to understand the treatment effect in a timely manner.
