What are Nosebleeds (Epistaxis)?
Nosebleeds, or epistaxis, are often caused by dry air, nose picking, minor injuries, or allergies. Most nosebleeds are not severe and can be managed at home. However, frequent or severe nosebleeds can indicate an underlying medical condition. These conditions can include infections, high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, structural problems in the nose, or even certain medications. While occasional nosebleeds are usually nothing to worry about, it's essential to understand why they happen and know when to seek professional help.
