Patient's question:
I'm not sure what's going on either. I often experience nosebleeds, and I've been worried it might be leukemia. I want to ask, if the nosebleeds happen frequently, is it a sign of leukemia?Doctor's answer:
Nosebleeds often do not indicate leukemia. This disease can only be effectively treated in a timely manner after a diagnosis of leukemia. The most common cause of nosebleeds is primary epistaxis, where blood vessels rupture due to minor irritation. If forcefully blowing nose, feverish, and contagious, fever is one of the most common symptoms of leukemia and can occur at different stages of the disease.
