The Dangers Of Just One Evening Of Hookah Smoking. Hookah smoking may seem like a relatively harmless way to spend an evening, but a new study suggests otherwise.
1 The definition of a nosebleed is simply bleeding from the blood vessels in the nose. 2  The medical term for nosebleed is epistaxis. 3  Nosebleeds are common due to the location of the nose on the face, and the large amount of blood vessels in the nose.s a result, trauma to the face can cause nasal injury and bleeding. The bleeding may be profuse, or simply a minor complication. Nosebleeds can occur spontaneously when the nasal membranes dry out and crack. This is common in dry climates, or during the winter months when the air is dry and warm from household heaters.
There are many different things which can cause a bloody nose or blood-streaked nasal mucous. In a child, a pediatrician is the best physician to make an initial assessment and determine whether other physicians such as ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors should become involved. The skin lining the nasal passages is very thin and delicate which is what makes it prone to bleeding with even minor irritation. Irritating factors can include cold/dry weather; seasonal or environmental allergies; or an infection that causes typical upper respiratory 'cold' symptoms. Some other common causes of bleeding from the nose include trauma or a foreign body (in a child, most often related to nose-picking).
