So why do some girls have nose bleeding during menstruation?

Some girls often have nosebleeds during their menstrual period, which is commonly known as "reverse menstruation" and medically known as "compensatory menstruation." Retrograde menstruation is characterized by a small amount of bleeding from the nose (or mouth) in addition to vaginal bleeding, which may last for varying numbers of days, often occurring 1-2 days before menstruation or during menstruation, and has a cyclical regularity like menstruation. According to clinical observations and statistics, epistaxis is the most common symptom of retrograde menstruation. One of the reasons for retrograde menstruation is that there is an area with rich and fragile blood vessels in the front and lower part of the nasal septum, which is more sensitive to estrogen. This hormone increases in the body of girls during menstruation. Stimulated by the increased estrogen, the nasal mucosa will experience blood vessel hyperplasia, swelling and congestion in this area, and finally rupture and bleeding. Second, the lesions of endometriosis are in the nasal mucosa. One or two days before the menstrual period, keep your mood stable and happy, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and avoid pinching your nose hard, which can effectively prevent retrograde menstruation.

Girls who have nose bleeding during menstruation can go to the hospital to get some paraffin oil or peppermint oil to apply to the nasal cavity. They can also ask the doctor to check and burn the blood vessels in the nasal cavity to avoid frequent bleeding. A blood test should also be done to see if there are any blood system diseases. See the ENT doctor to see if there is a deviated nasal septum, etc. In normal times, you should drink more water, eat more vegetables and avoid pinching your nose.

The above introduces why some girls experience nose bleeding during menstruation. It is generally caused by the phenomenon known as retrograde menstruation. Therefore, during the menstrual period, you need to pay extra attention to your diet and lifestyle habits. You need to keep a good mood and avoid eating spicy and cold foods.
