What is the cause of nose bleeding in the elderly

Nose bleeding in the elderly is mostly caused by arteriosclerosis and hypertension. Older people mostly have arteriosclerosis, the blood vessels are more brittle and less elastic, when hypertension, the blood vessels are easy to rupture, the vascular contraction force is poor, and it is not easy to stop bleeding. Nasal bleeding in the elderly is mostly arterial bleeding, and the bleeding volume is larger, and the bleeding site is usually hidden, mostly located behind the nasal cavity, so it is difficult to stop the nasal bleeding with the usual nasal stuffing, and nasal endoscopic electrocoagulation for nasal bleeding is needed. Elderly people need to have a light diet, keep their bowels open, control high blood pressure to reduce the chance of rupture of nasal blood vessels, rest more and reduce activities to reduce the occurrence of nasal bleeding.
