Nosebleeds in SLE may be related to environmental factors, trauma, and disease-related factors.
1. Environmental factors: If a small amount of nosebleed occurs in SLE, it should be clarified whether it is caused by environmental factors. Dry air, low water intake and other factors may lead to dryness of nasal mucous membrane, and the capillaries in the nose are prone to rupture and lead to bleeding symptoms.
2. Trauma: usually there is a clear history of trauma, the patient’s nose was hit by external forces caused by local capillary rupture, bleeding.
3. Disease-related: patients with active SLE may have a combination of hematologic manifestations, such as thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, etc., which may lead to nosebleeds due to difficulty in stopping bleeding. In addition, some SLE patients with hypertension or hypertension secondary to renal involvement may also have nosebleeds, which need to be examined in the hospital in time.
If the symptoms of nosebleed occur in SLE patients or do not get better, it is recommended that the patients should go to regular hospitals in time to have the cause clarified under the guidance of doctors and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
