Nosebleeds are often annoying. But sometimes it is frightening
and life threatening. Experts divide nosebleeds into two
groups.
- Anterior nosebleeds are bleeding from the front of the nose.
- Bleeding from the nostril of a person standing or sitting
- Back bleeding: Bleeding from the back of the nose. Bleeding
is towards the nose. Bleeding even when sitting or standing
is towards the throat. When the patient is lying on his back, even if there is anterior bleeding
, bleeding may occur in both directions. Recognition of bleeding is very important. - The type of bleeding from the back of the nose requires the follow-up of a specialist
. - The type of bleeding from the back of the nose is mostly seen in elderly people.
- This patient group is usually
people with high blood pressure (hypertension) or people who have experienced trauma. - Nose bleeding is usually pre-bleeding type in the pediatric age group.
- Dry air or crusting in the winter months causes bleeding.;
To prevent this, it will be useful to apply a moisturizing cream to the middle part of the nose with the tip of your finger. It is recommended to use three times a day. However, it is sufficient to apply before going to bed at night. If nosebleeds are recurring frequently, it may be advisable to see a specialist.
