Nosebleeds 5+ times a day
 

I have nosebleeds every time I blow my nose. It has got to the point where I expect a nosebleed every time I try to clear my nose.
In the past, I have self-harmed in a way that has resulted in a forced nosebleed. I understand my nosebleeds are because of that.
Is there anything a doctor could do about my nosebleeds? Or shall I just wait for another week for them to clear up by themselves?
The nosebleeds are exceedingly heavy sometimes.

i dont know much about them

but if they're heavy you should go
just because there may be a reason, n you may loose alot of blood with them being so often

sorry 4 the bad advice

this is gonna sound gross and i apologise but try using (a clean, obviously, and prob fairly small) tampon, it is used in hospital (well something very similar-not really how they market tampons) very absorbant and less messy. you do look a little silly so not advisable to use outdoors.

would go and ssee gp tho as there mayb some kind of nasal spray they can give you.

This...might not be relevant...but my brother suffers frequent heavy nosebleeds and our doctor said there is a procedure where you burn the ends of the blood vessels so they dont bleed (sounds painful but isnt that bad)
Maybe its worth looking into if they dont stop soon?

You should see a doctor especially as they are heavy and though it may sound hard, as blowing your nose it setting it off can you try not to for the next couple of days because doing this will put pressure on the damaged blood vessels which need a bit of time to heal.

A doctor can refer you for tratment as Reason[TO]Believe said above as this will seal the blood vessels very quickly and will lessen the chance of them occuring. However, it won't stop them damaging at other places, just the exposed ends that keep bleeding. And yeah, SMALL tampons such as the Tampax Compak ones will help as they will absorb blood whilst putting pressure on the area.

If you have a nosebleed that lasts longer than 10 minutes it needs looking at to help stem the bleeding and if heavy, check your not suffering from the blood loss.

Doctors may also give your some tablets/ a nasal spray that will reduce the blood flow to your nose to help. In fact, you could maybe try taking Sudafed for a couple of days. That reduces capillarie bloodflow to your nose and so might help even though this isn't it's normal use (it's used as a decongestant/ in colds). You can buy it over the counter at pharmacies

Wow. Thank you for the advice. The school doctor is coming in on Friday, so I can talk to her at school about it. My Mum keeps telling me that its normal and not to worry about it. I really wonder about that, because I don't know anyone else who is getting 5+ nosebleeds a day. I had one this morning that didn't stop for over 20 minutes. And a week ago I had one that lasted for 40 minutes. I've been feeling more dizzy recently.
So I will talk to the school doctor.

I'd definately see the school doctor, the dizziness could be due to the bloodloss, especially having nosebleeds as regularly as you are and the period of time they are lasting

Ok thank you. I'll remember to go tomorrow, because I don't know how long I can hold out without touching my nose.
