Is there blood in the nose in the third trimester?

summary

Nosebleed in pregnant women is a common condition in life. The common site of epistaxis in pregnant women is the mucosal vascular area under the nasal septum, which is called Nissl's area clinically. This area is rich in blood vessels and the location is superficial. During pregnancy, due to the influence of the increase of estrogen level in the body, the mucous membrane of Nissl's area is swollen, the blood vessels are dilated and congested, and epistaxis is more likely to occur. General pregnancy occasionally a small amount of nasal bleeding, will not cause serious impact on the body, after emotional stability, local compression or stimulation of vasoconstriction, often in a few minutes after bleeding will stop, do not need to take medicine or injection treatment. Let's share my experience with you.

Is there blood in the nose in the third trimester?

Pregnant women secrete a lot of progesterone, which makes blood vessels dilate and congest. At the same time, the blood volume of pregnant women is higher than that of non pregnant women, and the nasal mucosa blood vessels are relatively rich, and the wall of blood vessels is relatively thin, so it is easy to rupture and cause epistaxis. Especially when pregnant women after a night's sleep, get up, posture changes or blow their nose, it is more likely to cause epistaxis. In addition, pregnant women with nasal polyps, blood disease, coagulation dysfunction, acute respiratory tract infection and other diseases, epistaxis phenomenon will often occur.

Repeated epistaxis during pregnancy, should be timely to the hospital for examination and treatment, especially at the same time with bleeding in other parts of the body, should exclude the existence of other systemic diseases. Then, the main treatment methods are as follows: 1, the bleeding side of the nasal alar to the nasal septum compression or into a small group of clean dry cotton compression hemostasis. 2. If it is bilateral epistaxis, the thumb and index finger can be used to pinch both sides of the nasal alar to compress the bleeding area, and then apply a cold towel on the forehead to promote local vasoconstriction and hemostasis.

3. Wash the face with cold water, especially the nose, can also make the blood vessels of the nose contract when cold, so as to achieve the purpose of hemostasis. If the above methods still can not stop bleeding, ask a doctor for treatment. Epistaxis should be handled calmly, because tension and confusion will increase blood pressure and aggravate bleeding. If the blood flows to the oropharynx, it must be vomited out and cannot be swallowed.

matters needing attention

After pregnancy, the placenta will produce a lot of estrogen, especially after 7 months of pregnancy, the concentration of estrogen in the blood may be more than 20 times higher than that before pregnancy. A lot of estrogen in the blood can promote the swelling, softening and congestion of nasal mucosa. The brittleness of the blood vessel wall of the pregnant mother's nasal cavity increases, which is prone to rupture and cause epistaxis.
