The nose is a part of the body
that is very rich in blood vessels (vascular) and is situated in a vulnerable position on the face. As a result, any trauma to the face can cause bleeding which may be profuse.
Nosebleeds can occur spontaneously when the nasal membranes dry out, crust, and crack, as
is common in dry climates, or during the winter months when the air is dry and warm from
household heaters. People are more susceptible if they are taking medications which
prevent normal blood clotting (Coumadin, warfarin, aspirin, or any anti-inflammatory
medication). Other predisposing factors include infection, trauma, allergic and
non-allergic rhinitis, hypertension., alcohol abuse and inherited bleeding problems.
