Brief Answer:
Deviated Nasal Septum IS The Culprit

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Epistaxis, or bleeding from the nose, is a common complaint. It is rarely life threatening but may cause significant concern like yours. As the doctor already mentioned deviated nasal septum is a very common factor amongst many others for the bleeding nose , so you should consider fixing it , there are very common and easy procedures locally done to fix the deviated septum. All your labs are fine so i don't see any concern to bother.

All you need to do is fix an appointment with an otorhinolaryngologist and let them fix this deviated septum by procedures like septoplasty or SMR.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

may the odds be ever in your favour.
