Patient's question:
No symptoms, past treatment and effectiveness: I went to the hospital, the doctor said my nasal membrane was broken, prescribed topical medication, and sometimes when I dug, it would bleed. What kind of help is needed: It happens frequently, which makes me a bit worried, and I hope to get some help.Doctor's answer:
1. Local factors: inflammation of the nasal cavity and sinuses, deviation of the nasal septum, trauma, tumors, and poor nose-picking habits, etc. Among these, early-stage tumors in the nasopharynx often manifest as blood-tinged sputum or minimal skin breakdown, which are easily overlooked.2. Systemic factors: various febrile infectious diseases, hypertension, heart disease, blood disorders, chronic liver and kidney diseases, nutritional deficiencies, endocrine disorders, and so on.
Advice: If you experience nosebleeds, it is important to remain calm at all times and avoid panicking, as this may cause blood pressure to drop and exacerbate the bleeding. If you feel blood flowing into your mouth, try to spit it out to prevent irritation to your stomach. For minimal bleeding, insert a cotton ball into the nostril and press firmly for 5-10 minutes. If the bleeding does not subside, you may extend the duration. Applying cold compresses to the nose and forehead can also help, and using Yunnan Baiyao will be even more effective. If the bleeding is severe or recurrent, seek medical attention promptly.
