nosebleed

 nosebleed, epistaxis or medical terms, the origin is a mild condition caused by erosion or rupture in the tangle of blood vessels in the nasal mucous membranes. Nosebleeds most often caused by dryness of mucous membranes of the nose so the blood vessels become fragile and can be broken by the slightest impact or rubbing.

Dryness of mucous membranes is common in dry weather conditions. Frequent scraping the inside of the nose, for example, in young children, and sneeze or exhale through the nose too hard can also cause nasal blood vessels rupture and bleeding occurs.
Some diseases can also cause nosebleeds, including:

- Infections

- Inflammation of a good nose caused by allergies and non-allergic.

- Hypertension

- The use of drugs or substances that affect the blood, such as aspirin, warfarin, ginkgo biloba supplements, and so forth.

- Consumption of alcohol, especially in large quantities.

- A less common cause is a blood clotting disorder (usually inherited in the family) and the tumor in the nose area.
Nosebleeds that occur in the absence of disease or the consumption of blood-thinning medicines can generally be treated at home independently. Some steps include:

A. Pinch all the soft parts of the nose (cartilage) using the thumb and forefinger.

2. Press firmly clamped to the nose which is towards the face (facial bone below the nose).

3. Sitting position leaning slightly forward with his head slightly bent forward. Leaning or looking up can cause the blood to flow into the sinus cavities of the head and throat, which can cause choking or the entry of blood into the respiratory system.

4. Hold the nose position in such circumstances for at least 5 minutes. Release to see if the blood had stopped flowing, and repeat if necessary until the bleeding stops.

See to it that the inside of your nose moist, avoid scraping or injuring the inside of the nose, stop taking blood-thinning drugs, a few steps for the prevention of recurrent epistaxis.
Nosebleeds should immediately consult a physician if:

A. Bleeding can not be stopped with the above actions.

2. If bleeding occurs quickly or volume of blood that came out a lot.

3. If the patient feels weak or faint, probably due to significant blood loss.

4. If the bleeding is associated with fever or headache.
