What reason is nosebleed of old people?

The old people's blood vessels gradually aging, nasal mucosa small artery muscle layer, replaced by collagen tissue, poor elasticity. When the climate is dry, the old people's nasal cavity with reduced secretion appears to be more dry. Combined with external forces, such as rubbing the nose and digging the nostrils when the nose is dry, it is easy to cause epistaxis.

Epistaxis mostly occurs in the anterior and inferior parts of the nasal septum, where there are dilated blood vessels forming vascular plexus, which is called the bleeding prone area of the nasal septum. In a few cases, the bleeding site is behind the nasal cavity or other parts. Most epistaxis is unilateral, the amount of bleeding can be small, arterial massive bleeding, even shock.

Epistaxis in the elderly is not only a local symptom, but also a symptom of systemic diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension and coagulation disorders. In case of epistaxis, don't be nervous. Can use finger to pinch nose gently 5 minutes, or apply with cold towel in forehead and neck, bubble foot with hot water at the same time, draw blood downward, often can stop bleeding by oneself. If still can not stop bleeding, can take vitamin K3, vitamin K4 or Panax notoginseng tablets and other drugs. If the use of these methods can not stop bleeding, it is a large posterior nasal vascular rupture bleeding, should be promptly to the hospital emergency treatment.
