What Causes Persistent Mild Nasal Bleeding?

my nose has been bleeding everyday for a little more than a year. About every day to two days, when I blow my nose I have a large bloody scab come out. I don t hurt, just bleed. It bleeds lightly all day. when I blow my nose it s red to pink. I can t feel anything in my nose. I wonder what it would be. I haven t seen a doctor yet.

Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.com
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Recurrent episodes of nasal bleed suggestive that you may have possibly the following problems:
1-Chronic sinusitis
2-An abnormal growth (polyp or tumor) in the nose or sinuses.
3-Bleeding disorders like hemophilia.
I suggest you to consult an ENT surgeon and get the following things done:
1-Do a coagulation profile to rule out bleeding disorders.
2-Anterior rhinoscopy(visual examination of nose) to look for polyps or other growth in the nasal cavity
3-You might also require a CT scan to look for chronic sinusitis.
Clinical evaluation will be done by your ENT specialist and he will decide whether you needs a medical management and/or surgical intervention to get a complete relief.
For sinusitis and nasal polyp highly effective endoscopic procedures like FESS(Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) are preferred.

Hope this information help you.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr.Shinas Hussain
