What is frequent nosebleeds?

Nosebleeds are a very common phenomenon. Sometimes nosebleeds occur when you are anxious or angry, when the weather is dry, or when you are hit. Some people's nosebleeds are not serious, just a small amount or some blood in the nasal mucus, but some people have severe bleeding and cannot stop it. In this case, you need to seek medical attention in time, find the cause and treat it symptomatically, so as to avoid excessive bleeding causing other diseases.

Many people think that nosebleeds are caused by getting angry. In fact, there is some truth to this. Friends who often have nosebleeds should try to eat more foods that can cool blood and clear the lungs, especially in the hot summer. This can reduce the dryness of the lungs a lot and help relieve the symptoms of blood heat. The following will introduce the causes of frequent nosebleeds and the corresponding treatment methods. I hope it can be used when you encounter nosebleeds.

Nosebleed in hot weather is not caused by internal heat

Heat is not the cause of nosebleeds. In summer, some people feel that their nasal cavity starts to become a little dry, and there is blood in their nasal discharge; in serious cases, the nose suddenly starts to bleed and cannot be stopped. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nosebleeds are caused by the upward flow of qi and blood. The nose belongs to the orifice of the lungs. Generally speaking, any nasal disease is closely related to abnormalities in the lungs, liver and other parts of the body. When a person's Qi and blood rise, especially when the lung Qi is hot, the person will have a nosebleed. When the lung qi is overheated, blood or bleeding may occur in the fundus of the eyes. The causes of getting angry and nosebleed are the same, both are the result of the upward flow of Qi and blood, but getting angry is not the cause of nosebleed.

Nosebleeds in summer are related to hot weather and dryness of the nasal cavity. When the nasal cavity is too dry, the capillaries inside will rupture and cause bleeding. From a clinical perspective, 90% of nosebleeds are vascular bleeding caused by blood vessel rupture. In this regard, patients do not need to be too nervous. In most cases, they can handle it themselves and stop the bleeding in time.

When your nose is bleeding, you can plug your nose with a tampon and tilt your head back to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. At the same time, you can also apply a cool towel to your forehead or nose to lower the temperature of your head and nose to relieve bleeding symptoms. If there is excessive bleeding in the nasal cavity and it is difficult to stop, you should see a doctor immediately.

Nosebleeds should be treated according to the situation

There are also some cases of nosebleeds in summer that require special attention.

When the weather is hot and dry, and people are angry, or even not well rested, their qi and blood may flow upward, leading to nasal bleeding. In addition, drinking alcohol and eating too much spicy food may also cause lung heat and nosebleeds. In addition, excessive exposure to the sun can cause blood vessels in the head to dilate, causing nosebleeds.

Professor Song Haitao believes that nose bleeding in summer is not only due to the dry climate, but also related to a person's age group. When the weather is dry, the elderly are more likely to have blood in their nasal discharge. If an elderly person suddenly has a lot of nose bleeding that is difficult to stop, you should suspect that he or she has high blood pressure and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Nosebleeds in young people are also related to fatigue, exercise, etc. Generally speaking, patients can stop bleeding on their own. However, if you have a sudden nosebleed without any warning, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out lesions such as nasal tumors as soon as possible.

How to prevent nosebleeds

Generally speaking, nasal bleeding due to ruptured blood vessels does not require special treatment. Since nose bleeding is related to lung heat, people should try to avoid situations that may cause lung heat in their diet and lifestyle. Drink less alcohol, eat less spicy food, and eat less food that may generate heat. On the contrary, you can eat more foods that clear away heat and reduce fire, such as bitter melon, mung bean soup, watermelon, cold drinks, etc. Take 3 grams of winter mulberry leaves, add Imperata root and Ophiopogon japonicus, and then add some licorice, and use them to make tea, which can achieve the purpose of clearing heat and reducing fire.

Patients with nosebleeds should not eat spicy and irritating foods, as this will easily cause more bleeding. They should eat more light meals. In addition, if nosebleeds occur frequently without any feeling, you need to go to the hospital for some detailed examinations to see if there are any undetected diseases in the body. This will be more responsible for your body.
