Nosebleeds when the nose is picked are mainly considered to be related to external injuries, rhinitis, septal diseases, nasal tumors and other factors. There may also be some systemic diseases.
1. external injury: when picking the nose, such as improper operation, may lead to nasal mucous membrane damage, and then the symptoms of nosebleed.
2. Rhinitis: such as dry rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, etc., the patient’s nasal mucosa itself has different degrees of dryness and erosion. When picking the nose, it is very easy to damage the nasal mucosa, and then the symptoms of nosebleed, usually the amount of bleeding will not be a lot.
3. Nasal septum diseases: such as nasal septum ulcer and other diseases, in the process of picking the nose, can lead to ulceration of the ulcer, triggering nosebleeds. In patients with deviated septum, the mucous membrane in the deviated part is very thin or there is mucous membrane erosion, so it is very easy to have nosebleed when picking the nose.
4. Nasal sinus tumors: such as septal capillary hemangioma, hemorrhagic polyps, papilloma and other diseases, in the process of nose picking, may also induce bleeding.
5. Other diseases: such as hemorrhagic diseases, acute febrile infectious diseases, etc., once the nasal mucosa is damaged, it is very easy to cause bleeding, and even bleeding is intense and not easy to stop.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients who bleed when their nose is snapped should go to a specialized hospital as soon as possible for further examination and active treatment after identifying the cause of the disease.
