Common causes of nosebleeds include: 1  Dry, heated, indoor air, which dries out the nasal membranes and causes them to become cracked or crusted and bleed when rubbed or picked or when blowing the nose (more common in winter months) 2  Dry, hot, low-humidity climates, which can dry out the mucus membranes.
The changes in hormones during menopause can cause the tissues in the nose to dry out or become smaller. Therefore, the nose tissue is more prone to cracks, cuts and bleeding. Reoccurring nosebleeds are usually another symptom that menopause is occurring.
