Blood Noses
My boyfriend gets really bad blood noses.. sometimes up to 4 or 5 a day!
Someone told him that he can go to the doctor and get something inside his nose lasered to stop the nose bleeding but he doesn't want to go to the doctor.
He either gets lots of little ones a few times a day or it bleeds lots and has less blood noses a day.
He's never smoked and neither do I so I don't think that could be a problem.. although his dad smokes but he doesn't like it so he stays away from it.
His diet is pretty healthy and he's an active person, he's 20 years old if that helps.
Why could he be getting blood noses? The weather is only just starting to heat up where we live so what could be the problem?
Thanks :)

I used to get a lot of nosebleeds when I was younger. People say that most nosebleeds are started by nose-picking, but mine would come for no good reason.
I had a nosebleed cauterized once. It not only did not help in lowering the frequency of my bleeds, but it was rather unpleasant too.
What finally DID help is when one doctor suggested I use decongestants. Nosebleeds come from the mucus membranes in the nose which get all swollen up and engorged with blood when you're congested. Decongestants shrink the swelling and reduce the pressure on the small blood vessels in the tissues.
Since I've started using decongestants when I've got a stuffy nose, I've had very few nosebleeds.
Hope this helps your boyfriend some.

My daughter suffers a lot with heavy nosebleeds. It is usually caused by a weak blood vessel in the nostrils. The doctors can cauterise a blood vessel if they feel it is necessary so why not tell him to make an appointment with his doctor to discuss his options. It is always better to seek professional help when someones health is a concern. Hope this helps.
