So why do pregnant women have nosebleeds?

Nosebleeds in pregnant women usually make family members worry. In fact, the common causes of nosebleeds in pregnant women are deviated nasal septum, dry air, local irritation and trauma, etc.

Pregnant women's bodies secrete a large amount of progesterone, which causes blood vessels to dilate and become congested. At the same time, the blood volume of pregnant women is higher than that of non-pregnant women, and the human nasal mucosa is rich in blood vessels and the blood vessel walls are relatively thin, so it is easy to rupture and cause nosebleeds. Especially when pregnant women get up after a night's sleep, change their body position or blow their nose, they are more likely to suffer from nosebleeds.

In addition, pregnant women are also prone to nosebleeds in the following conditions: trauma to the nose and sinuses, fractures, surgery, skull base fractures, etc., irritation or damage to the nasal mucosa; picking the nose, severe coughing, sneezing, forceful nose changes, foreign objects in the nasal cavity, etc.; inflammation, infection, such as acute and chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, dry rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis and specific infections; hypertension, such as persistent hypertension, granulomatous nephritis, chronic nephritis, arteriosclerosis, etc. can all lead to temporary increase in arterial blood pressure and cause nosebleeds.

The above reasons are described in great detail. In fact, there are certain reasons for pregnant women to have nosebleeds. Only by careful analysis can we see whether the bloodshot nose of the pregnant woman is very serious. If it is due to her own disease, such as the high blood pressure mentioned above, treatment is required. Only in this way can bleeding be prevented.
