General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Bleeding from nose is called 'epistaxis'. It occurs due to presence of fragile blood vessels in the nasal mucosa in an area called 'Little's area'.
Bleeding is commonly precipitated by dryness of mucosa or presence of infection or allergy.
You need to pinch the nose thoroughly and bend in front whenever bleeding is active.
For its permanent solution, you need to undergo cauterization of blood vessels either by chemical or electrical means.
Kindly contact ENT specialist in this regard for appropriate evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
