Hello and good day to you.

Thank you for your question.

I understand that you are concerned with your health issue. I will try to help you.

Nosebleeds are more common than you think. Over 60% of the population will encounter nosebleeds at least once in their lifetime. It is the result of blood vessels in the lining of the nose bursting. Common causes of nosebleeds include:

• Blowing or picking nose very hard
• Blood thinning medication such as Warfarin
• Environmental changes in humidity and temperature cause the nose to dry and crack
• Allergies
• Common colds
• Injury or broken nose
• Deviated septum

Certain nosebleeds require immediate medical intervention such :

• Blood loss is large (more than a cup).
• Bleeding doesn’t stop upon pressure.
• Prolonged bleeding (over 20min)

The exact cause of nosebleeds is best to be determined by a healthcare professional by conducting a further medical investigation. To get the best medical advice for your situation, a doctor should be consulted. Proper treatment can be given upon detailed history taking.

Hope this answers your question. Thank you.
