Question
Parents are worried about their child’s repeated nosebleeds, have already undergone checks, and hope to receive professional medical advice.
Answer
The causes of nosebleeds are diverse, with about half of the cases being difficult to determine the specific cause. The mucous membranes inside the nose are densely distributed with fine blood vessels that are sensitive and fragile, making them prone to rupture and bleeding. This is a common phenomenon in children before school age. The correct method for stopping a nosebleed is to keep the head in a normal upright or slightly forward position, allowing the blood that has already flowed out to exit through the nostrils, avoiding interference with the airflow. Young people often experience nosebleeds due to overexertion or exercise. Typically, such bleeding can be stopped on its own. However, patients who experience sudden and unexplained nosebleeds should consider medical examination to rule out the possibility of nasal tumors and other pathologies.
