What Causes itchy ears?

Itchy ears can be the result of a number of situations:

Dry skin

If your ears don’t produce enough wax, your ear skin can become dry and itchy. Wax has lubricating effects. Its absence can cause you to experience itching. You may even notice flaking skin coming from the ear.

Ear canal dermatitis

This condition occurs when the skin in and around your ear canal becomes inflamed. It can be the result of an allergic reaction to products in or near your ear, such as personal care products or metal in earrings. Another type of dermatitis in the ear is called aural eczematoid dermatitis, which has unknown causes.

Otitis externa (outer ear infection)

Otitis externa, or infection of the outer ear canal, can cause ear pain as well as itching. This is also known as swimmer’s ear and is caused by inflammation that’s usually due to infection. It can lead to redness and swelling.

Hearing aid use

Hearing aids can cause water to become trapped in the ears or trigger an allergic reaction to the hearing aid itself. Ill-fitting hearing aids can also place pressure on certain areas of the ear, leading to itching.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes a red rash to develop. Psoriasis can occur on visible parts of your body, such as your arms or inside your ears.

What are the symptoms of itchy ears?

Itchy ears can feel irritating and bothersome. It may seem that scratching will help. However, your ears will probably feel worse when you scratch. When infected, itchy ears can be accompanied by:

• fever
• swelling
• drainage from the ear

When to seek medical help?

Seek immediate medical attention if:

• you’re experiencing severe bleeding or drainage from your ears
• you suddenly have hearing loss

See your doctor immediately if your itchy ear symptoms don’t improve with time or home care.

They will likely examine your ears and take a medical history to help identify potential causes. This can help them identify any telltale rashes, such as eczema-like patches.

Your doctor may also look for excess earwax or earwax very close to the eardrum, which can cause itching. To pinpoint the cause, they will likely ask about other symptoms you have, such as fever, and when they began.

How are itchy ears treated?

Itchy ears are typically due to a breakdown in ear skin health. Treatment usually seeks to fix these breakdowns. Common causes include:

• earwax lubrication
• excess water in the ear
• foreign particles and debris in the ear

If your itchy ears are the result of an allergic reaction, refrain from using any products that could’ve potentially caused the irritation. These include new earrings and personal care products.

Always talk with your doctor before putting ointments or drops in or on your ear. This ensures you’re not putting anything irritating in the ear. Also, if you have a damaged eardrum, you shouldn’t use any ointments or drops unless your doctor specifically prescribes them.

If you don’t already have a primary care provider, you can browse doctors in your area through the Healthline FindCare tool.

Your healthcare provider may recommend or prescribe the following:

• antibiotic ointment
• baby oil to soften the skin
• steroid topical ointment that relieves inflammation, such as 1-percent hydrocortisone cream or 0.1-percent betamethasone cream
• swimmer’s ear eardrops, or a diluted solution of rubbing alcohol, acetic acid, or hydrogen peroxide

Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat infection if your itching ears are accompanied by a high temperature, or blood or pus draining from the ear.

Consider scheduling regular appointments with your doctor to clean your ears. This can minimize trauma to the area while helping you remove excess earwax.

How can i prevent itchy ears?

To prevent irritation, avoid cleaning your ears with objects such as:

• cotton balls
• cotton swabs
• paper clips
• bobby pins

Other ways to avoid irritation in your ears include:

• Use antiallergic jewelry, which can prevent allergic reactions that lead to itching.
• If you swim frequently, use a solution to dry up excess water in the ear canal.
• If you experience excess earwax production, you may want to keep your earwax at a manageable level by using doctor-approved approaches, such as eardrops or a bulb syringe.

Today's Topic is Hoarseness .

In this topic we will diecious about Causes, Diagnosis & Disorders of Hoarseness

What is hoarseness?

Structures involved in speech and voice production

If you are hoarse, your voice will sound breathy, raspy, or strained, or will be softer in volume or lower in pitch. Your throat might feel scratchy. Hoarseness is often a symptom of problems in the vocal folds of the larynx.

How does our voice work?

The sound of our voice is produced by vibration of the vocal folds, which are two bands of smooth muscle tissue that are positioned opposite each other in the larynx. The larynx is located between the base of the tongue and the top of the trachea, which is the passageway to the lungs (see figure).

When we're not speaking, the vocal folds are open so that we can breathe. When it's time to speak, however, the brain orchestrates a series of events. The vocal folds snap together while air from the lungs blows past, making them vibrate. The vibrations produce sound waves that travel through the throat, nose, and mouth, which act as resonating cavities to modulate the sound. The quality of our voice—its pitch, volume, and tone—is determined by the size and shape of the vocal folds and the resonating cavities. This is why people's voices sound so different.

Individual variations in our voices are the result of how much tension we put on our vocal folds. For example, relaxing the vocal folds makes a voice deeper; tensing them makes a voice higher.

If my voice is hoarse, when should I see my doctor?

You should see your doctor if your voice has been hoarse for more than three weeks, especially if you haven't had a cold or the flu. You should also see a doctor if you are coughing up blood or if you have difficulty swallowing, feel a lump in your neck, experience pain when speaking or swallowing, have difficulty breathing, or lose your voice completely for more than a few days.Visit our Hospital for better results.

How will my doctor diagnose what is wrong?

Your doctor will ask you about your health history and how long you've been hoarse. Depending on your symptoms and general health, your doctor may send you to an otolaryngologist (Dr. Abhishek Ramadhin- MS ENT, MD & FARS (USA), FIANO (Italy), MRCS (UK) who specializes in diseases of the ears, nose, and throat). An otolaryngologist will usually use an endoscope (a flexible, lighted tube designed for looking at the larynx) to get a better view of the vocal folds. In some cases, your doctor might recommend special tests to evaluate voice irregularities or vocal airflow.

What are some of the disorders that cause hoarseness and how are they treated?

Dr. Abhishek Ramadhin- MS ENT, MD & FARS (USA), FIANO (Italy), MRCS (UK) will ask you about your health history and how long you've been hoarse. Depending on your symptoms and general health, your doctor may send you to an otolaryngologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases of the ears, nose, and throat). An otolaryngologist will usually use an endoscope (a flexible, lighted tube designed for looking at the larynx) to get a better view of the vocal folds. In some cases, your doctor might recommend special tests to evaluate voice irregularities or vocal airflow.

Hoarseness can have several possible causes and treatments, as described below:

Laryngitis. Laryngitis is one of the most common causes of hoarseness. It can be due to temporary swelling of the vocal folds from a cold, an upper respiratory infection, or allergies. Your doctor will treat laryngitis according to its cause. If it's due to a cold or upper respiratory infection, your doctor might recommend rest, fluids, and nonprescription pain relievers. Allergies might be treated similarly, with the addition of over-the-counter allergy medicines.

Misusing or overusing your voice. Cheering at sporting events, speaking loudly in noisy situations, talking for too long without resting your voice, singing loudly, or speaking with a voice that's too high or too low can cause temporary hoarseness. Resting, reducing voice use, and drinking lots of water should help relieve hoarseness from misuse or overuse. Sometimes people whose jobs depend on their voices—such as teachers, singers, or public speakers—develop hoarseness that won't go away. If you use your voice for a living and you regularly experience hoarseness, your doctor might suggest seeing a speech-language pathologist for voice therapy. In voice therapy, you'll be given vocal exercises and tips for avoiding hoarseness by changing the ways in which you use your voice.

Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). GERD—commonly called heartburn—can cause hoarseness when stomach acid rises up the throat and irritates the tissues. Usually hoarseness caused by GERD is worse in the morning and improves throughout the day. In some people, the stomach acid rises all the way up to the throat and larynx and irritates the vocal folds. This is called laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). LPR can happen during the day or night. Some people will have no heartburn with LPR, but they may feel as if they constantly have to cough to clear their throat and they may become hoarse. GERD and LPR are treated with dietary modifications and medications that reduce stomach acid.

Vocal nodules, polyps, and cysts. Vocal nodules, polyps, and cysts are benign (noncancerous) growths within or along the vocal folds. Vocal nodules are sometimes called "singer's nodes" because they are a frequent problem among professional singers. They form in pairs on opposite sides of the vocal folds as the result of too much pressure or friction, much like the way a callus forms on the foot from a shoe that's too tight. A vocal polyp typically occurs only on one side of the vocal fold. A vocal cyst is a hard mass of tissue encased in a membrane sac inside the vocal fold. The most common treatments for nodules, polyps, and cysts are voice rest, voice therapy, and surgery to remove the tissue.

Vocal fold hemorrhage. Vocal fold hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel on the surface of the vocal fold ruptures and the tissues fill with blood. If you lose your voice suddenly during strenuous vocal use (such as yelling), you may have a vocal fold hemorrhage. Sometimes a vocal fold hemorrhage will cause hoarseness to develop quickly over a short amount of time and only affect your singing but not your speaking voice. Vocal fold hemorrhage must be treated immediately with total voice rest and a trip to the doctor.

Vocal fold paralysis. Vocal fold paralysis is a voice disorder that occurs when one or both of the vocal folds don't open or close properly. It can be caused by injury to the head, neck or chest; lung or thyroid cancer; tumors of the skull base, neck, or chest; or infection (for example, Lyme disease). People with certain neurologic conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease or who have sustained a stroke may experience vocal fold paralysis. In many cases, however, the cause is unknown. Vocal fold paralysis is treated with voice therapy and, in some cases, surgery. For more information, see the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) fact sheet, Vocal Fold Paralysis.

Neurological diseases and disorders. Neurological conditions that affect areas of the brain that control muscles in the throat or larynx can also cause hoarseness. Hoarseness is sometimes a symptom of Parkinson's disease or a stroke. Spasmodic dysphonia is a rare neurological disease that causes hoarseness and can also affect breathing. Treatment in these cases will depend upon the type of disease or disorder. For more information, read the NIDCD fact sheet, Spasmodic Dysphonia.

Other causes. Thyroid problems and injury to the larynx can cause hoarseness. Hoarseness may sometimes be a symptom of laryngeal cancer, which is why it is so important to see your doctor if you are hoarse for more than three weeks. Read the National Cancer Institute fact sheet, Head and Neck Cancer--Patient version. Hoarseness is also the most common symptom of a disease called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), or laryngeal papillomatosis, which causes noncancerous tumors to grow in the larynx and other air passages leading from the nose and mouth into the lungs. Read the NIDCD fact sheet, Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis or Laryngeal Papillomatosis.

Today's Topic is Vertigo (sir ka chakkar)

Vertigo Meaning in Hindi is चक्कर आना या सिर चकराना, यह काफी आम समस्या हो सकती है विशेषकर उन लोगों को जिन्हे सर्वाइकल प्रॉब्लम, गर्दन में दर्द रहता है, सिर में दर्द रहता है या कान से सम्बंधित कोई समस्या रहती है। यह कई स्थितियों का लक्षण है। वर्टिगो में हमारा शरीर विभिन्न समस्याएं जैसे मतली और उल्टी के साथ में संतुलन बिगड़ जाना आदि महसूस करता है या यदि आप सिर घुमाते हैं तब यह स्थिति और बढ़ जाती है और आपका सिर और तेजी से चकराने लगता है।

बहुत बार कुछ लोगों को ऊँचाई पर जाने से भी सिर चकराना जैसे समस्या होती है परन्तु यह वर्टिगो से पूर्णतया भिन्न होता है। ऊँचाई पर जाने में डर लगना, इस समस्या को एक्रोफोबिया कहते हैं। यह कई स्थितियों का लक्षण है। यह तब होता है जब आंतरिक कान, मस्तिष्क या संवेदी तंत्रिका मार्ग के साथ कोई समस्या हो। वर्टिगो किसी भी उम्र में हो सकता है, लेकिन 65 साल और उससे अधिक उम्र के लोगों में यह आम है।आइये जानते हैं यह क्या होता है, वर्टिगो अटैक में क्या होता है, आइये जानते हैं इस लेख की सहायता से वर्टिगो के बारे में।

Vertigo Meaning in Hindi – वर्टिगो का मतलब हिन्दी में 

वर्टिगो अस्थायी या दीर्घकालिक दोनों हो सकता है।यदि आपको लगातार सिर में चक्कर आते हैं तब यह मानसिक स्वास्थ्य के मुद्दों से जुड़ा हुआ हो सकता है। बहुत बार मनोरोग की समस्या चक्कर आने का कारण बन सकती है, या चक्कर आना व्यक्ति के दैनिक जीवन में कार्य करने की क्षमता को प्रभावित कर सकता है, जो संभवतः डिप्रेशन या चिंता का कारण बन सकता है। वर्टिगो बहुत सारी स्थितियों का एक लक्षण है। यह एक प्रकार की संवेदना है जिसमें कि आप, या आपके आस-पास का वातावरण घूमता हुआ महसूस होता है। कभी कभी यह इतनी गंभीर हो सकती है कि आपको अपना संतुलन बनाए रखने और रोजमर्रा के काम करने में मुश्किल हो सकती है।

आमतौर पर, वर्टिगो या तो आंतरिक कान में समस्याओं के कारण होता है, जिसे परिधीय वर्टिगो के रूप में जाना जाता है, या मस्तिष्क या तंत्रिका तंत्र में समस्याएं होती हैं, जिसे केंद्रीय वर्टिगो के रूप में जाना जाता है। कुछ जोखिम कारक और अन्य चिकित्सा मुद्दे भी सिर के चक्कर का कारण बन सकते हैं। वर्टिगो का अटैक कुछ सेकंड के लिए अचानक, या वे बहुत लंबे समय तक रह सकता हैं।

चक्कर से जुड़े अन्य लक्षणों में शामिल हो सकते हैं:

• संतुलन बिगड़ जाना – जिसके कारण खड़े होना या चलना मुश्किल हो सकता है
• बीमार होना
• सिर चकराना

वर्टिगो के लक्षण 

वर्टिगो वाले व्यक्ति को सिर चकराना, संतुलन बिगड़ना जैसी समस्याओं का सामना करना पड़ सकता है। वर्टिगो अन्य स्थितियों का एक लक्षण हो सकता है, और इससे संबंधित लक्षणों का अपना अलग सेट भी हो सकता है। इसमें शामिल है:

विभिन्न प्रकार के वर्टिगो पैदा करने के लिए निम्न स्थितियाँ शामिल हैं:

वर्टिगो के आम कारण

1. BPPV: BPPV को वर्टिगो या चक्कर आने का सबसे आम कारण माना जाता है। ऐसा तब होता है जब छोटे क्रिस्टल मुक्त हो जाते हैं और आपके आंतरिक कान की नलियों के अंदर तैरने लगते हैं, जिसे अर्धवृत्ताकार कैनाल कहा जाता है। BPPV में आमतौर पर चक्कर छोटे छोटे एपिसोड में आते हैं जो अचानक आते हैं और कुछ सेकंड से कुछ मिनट तक रहते हैं। BPPV वाले लोगों में थोड़ा सिर घूमाने से वर्टिगो या चक्कर के एपिसोड को ट्रिगर किया जा सकता है। अधिकांश समय, डॉक्टर ठीक से पहचान नहीं पाते हैं कि बीपीपीवी का सही कारण क्या है, लेकिन यह कभी-कभी सिर में मामूली या गंभीर आघात से जुड़ा हो सकता है।BPPV आमतौर पर बड़े वयस्कों को प्रभावित करता है, और इसका कारण आमतौर पर अज्ञात होता है। यह मनोभ्रंश (Dementia- पागलपन) से जुड़ा हुआ है और महिलाओं में पुरुषों की तुलना में दोगुना होता है।
2. लैब्रिंथिनाइटिस: यह आंतरिक कान लबीरिंथ की सूजन होती है। यह आमतौर पर एक वायरल संक्रमण के कारण होता है।
3. मेनिएरेस रोग: आंतरिक कान में तरल पदार्थ का निर्माण कानों में झनझनाहट और सुनने में हानि होने के साथ सिर में चक्कर पैदा कर सकता है। यह अधिकतर 40 से 60 साल के बीच के लोगों को प्रभावित करता है।

वर्टिगो के सामान्य कारण

कुछ कारण ऐसे भी हैं जो वर्टिगो के लिए उतने जिम्मेदार नहीं होते हैं परन्तु इसका कारण बन सकते हैं, उनमे निम्न स्थितियाँ शामिल हैं:

• डायबटीज
• प्रेगनेंसी
• सिफिलिस
• कुछ तरह की एलर्जी
• सिर या गर्दन की चोट
• माइग्रेन सिरदर्द
• कान की सर्जरी
• लंबे समय तक बिस्तर पर आराम करने से
• पेरिलिम्फेटिक फिस्टुला
• हरपीज ज़ोस्टर ऑटिक्स
• ओटोस्क्लेरोसिस
• किसी दवा के साइड इफ़ेक्ट या दवा की विषाक्तता के दुष्प्रभाव
• स्ट्रोक
• क्षणिक इस्कीमिक हमला
• अनुमस्तिष्क या दिमागी बीमारी, जैसे कि ब्रेन ट्यूमर या स्ट्रोक
• ध्वनिक न्यूरोमा, वेस्टिबुलर तंत्रिका पर एक सौम्य वृद्धि जो मस्तिष्क के भीतर के कान के बीच होती है
• मल्टीपल स्क्लेरोसिस

वर्टिगो का इलाज – Treatment of Vertigo in Hindi

• कुछ प्रकार के वर्टिगो बिना उपचार के सही हो जाते हैं, लेकिन किसी भी अंतर्निहित समस्या के लिए चिकित्सा की आवश्यकता हो सकती है, उदाहरण के लिए, जीवाणु संक्रमण के लिए के लिए एंटीबायोटिक चिकित्सा की आवश्यकता होती है।
• ड्रग्स वर्टिगो के कुछ लक्षणों को राहत दे सकते है, उदाहरण के लिए, और मोशन सिकनेस और जी मिचलाने की समस्या को कम करने के लिए एंटीहिस्टामाइन या एंटी-इमीटिक्स ले सकते हैं।
• जिन रोगियों को एक्यूट वेस्टिबुलर डिसऑर्डर वाले मरीजों को स्टेरॉयड, एंटीवायरल ड्रग्स या एंटीबायोटिक दवाइयां दी जा सकती हैं।
• कभी-कभी, अंतरंगनीय सौम्य पैरॉक्सिस्मल पोजीटिअल वर्टिगो (बीपीपीवी) वाले रोगियों के इलाज के लिए इंटरनल सर्जरी की जाती है। सर्जन उस क्षेत्र को अवरुद्ध करने के लिए आंतरिक कान में एक हड्डी प्लग सम्मिलित करता है जहां से वर्टिगो उत्पन्न होता है।

स्वयं की देखभाल करके

यदि आपको पता है कि वर्टिगो की समस्या, इसके होने का कारण क्या है, इस पर निर्भर करते हुए, ऐसे उपाय कीजिये जो आपके लक्षणों को राहत देने में मदद करे। आपका डॉक्टर आपको ये सलाह दे सकता है:

• अपने लक्षणों को ठीक करने के लिए सरल व्यायाम करें
• अपने सिर को दो या अधिक तकियों पर थोड़ा ऊपर उठाकर सोएं
• बिस्तर से उठते समय धीरे-धीरे उठें और खड़े होने से पहले एक मिनट के लिए बिस्तर के किनारे पर बैठें
• कुछ सामान उठाने के लिए नीचे झुकने से बचें
• अपनी गर्दन को खींचने से बचें – उदाहरण के लिए, एक ऊँची शेल्फ तक पहुंचने की कोशिश
• दैनिक गतिविधियों के दौरान अपने सिर को ध्यान से और धीरे-धीरे घुमाएं
• ऐसे व्यायाम करें जो वर्टिगो को ट्रिगर करते हैं, जिससे आपका मस्तिष्क इसके लिए अभ्यस्त हो जाता है और इसके लक्षणों को कम करने में मदद करता है

हालांकि उपरोक्त उपाय मदद कर सकते हैं, फिर भी वर्टिगो और किसी भी अन्य लक्षण दिखने पर डॉक्टर को इसके बारे में दिखाना उपयोगी होता है, क्योंकि कई स्थितियां वर्टिगो का कारण बन सकती हैं, और किसी भी हानिकारक अंतर्निहित स्वास्थ्य मुद्दों का इलाज करने की आवश्यकता पड़ सकती है।

Why Does My Ear Hurt?

Parents know how common earaches are in children, but adults can get frequent ear pain, too. You don’t have to have an infection, or even anything wrong with your ears, to have ear pain.

These are the most common causes:

Earwax

Your ear makes and gets rid of wax all the time. When the process doesn’t work well, the gunk builds up and hardens so your ear canal gets blocked. Your doctor will call this impacted wax. Sometimes, it causes pain.

Don’t use cotton swabs or other objects to try to get wax out. You'll just push it farther into your ear canal and make it more likely to get impacted. Your ear might hurt, itch, discharge gunk, or get infected. You could even lose your hearing for a while.

You can treat mildly impacted ears at home with over-the-counter ear drops that soften the wax so it can naturally drain. Or go see your doctor if the wax has hardened. She can get the wax out without damaging the eardrum. Learn more about earwax.

Air Pressure

Most of the time, your ear does a great job of keeping pressure equal on both sides of your eardrum. That little pop you feel when you swallow is part of the process. But quick changes, like when you’re on an airplane or in an elevator, can throw off the balance. Your ear might hurt, and you could have trouble hearing. This is typically a eustachian tube dysfunction which can be a chronic in some people.

To avoid problems on a plane:

• Chew gum, suck on hard candy, or yawn and swallow during takeoff and landing.
• Stay awake while the plane descends.
• Take a deep breath, pinch your nostrils shut, then gently try to blow air out of your nose.
• Avoid air travel and diving when you have a cold, a sinus infection, or allergy symptoms.

• Swimmer’s Ear

  If your ear hurts when you pull on your earlobe or push on the tiny flap that closes it, you probably have this outer ear infection. You get it when water trapped in your ear canal begins to breed germs. Your ear might get red, swollen, or itch and leak pus. It isn’t contagious. To avoid it, keep your ears dry during and after swimming. Your doctor will probably prescribe antibiotic ear drops to clear it up. Learn more about swimmer's ear.

• Middle Ear Infection

  A cold, allergies, or a sinus infection can block the tubes in your middle ear. When fluid builds up and gets infected, your doctor will call it otitis media. This is the most common cause of ear pain. If your doctor thinks the cause is a bacteria, she may prescribe antibiotics. If not, then she may recommend a decongestant allergy treatment with an antihistamine and a nasal steroid. Let her know if your pain doesn’t improve or returns. If it isn’t treated, a middle ear infection can spread or cause hearing loss. Learn more about ear infection treatments.

  Other Causes

  You may feel pain in your ears even when the source is somewhere else in your body, like a toothache. That’s because the nerves in your face and neck pass very close to your inner ear. Doctors call this type of pain that starts in one area but is felt in another “referred pain.”

  If your earache comes with a severe sore throat, it could be an infection like tonsillitis or pharyngitis. In fact, ear pain is often the worst symptom of one of these conditions. Learn more about sore throat symptoms.

• Tooth abscesses, cavities, and impacted molars also can cause ear pain. Your doctor will be able to tell if your teeth are to blame by tapping on a tooth or your gums to see if they feel sore. Learn more about toothaches.

  The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is the “hinge” of your jaw that sits directly below your ears. You might get TMJ pain from grinding your teeth, or it could be a symptom of arthritis. The ache in your ears or face comes after you chew, talk, or yawn. To treat it, take over-the-counter pain medicine and put warm compresses on your jaw. Try not to clench your teeth. You may benefit from using a mouth guard when you sleep. This can help ease the tension that causes ear pain. Eating soft foods will help, too. Learn more about causes of jaw pain.

  Some causes of ear pain can be serious such as tumors or infections, including cellulitis or shingles. If your ear pain is severe, doesn’t go away within a few days of home treatment, or comes with a high fever or sore throat, or you get a new rash, visit your doctor right away for treatment and to rule out something more serious.

What is a nosebleed?

Simply put, a nosebleed is the loss of blood from the tissue that lines the inside of your nose.Nosebleeds (also called epistaxis) are common. Some 60% of people will have at least one nosebleed in their lifetime. The location of the nose in the middle of the face and the large number of blood vessels close to the surface in the lining of your nose make it an easy target for injury and nosebleeds.

Are nosebleeds serious?

Although seeing blood coming out of your noise can be alarming, most nosebleeds are not serious and can be managed at home. Some, however, should be checked by your doctor. For instance, if you have frequent nosebleeds, see your doctor. This could be an early sign of other medical problems that needs to be investigated. A few nosebleeds start in the back of the nose. These nosebleeds usually involve large blood vessels, result in heavy bleeding and can be dangerous. You will need medical attention for this type of bleed, especially if the bleeding occurs after an injury and the bleeding hasn’t stopped after 20 minutes of applying direct pressure to your nose. (Read on to learn the steps for how to stop a nosebleed.)

Are there different kinds of nosebleeds?

Yes. Nosebleeds are described by the site of the bleed. There are two main types and one is more serious than the other.

An anterior nosebleed starts in the front of the nose on the lower part of the wall that separates the two sides of the nose (called the septum). Capillaries and small blood vessels in this front area of the nose are fragile and can easily break and bleed. This is the most common type of nosebleed and is usually not serious. These nosebleeds are more common in children and are usually able to be treated at home.

A posterior nosebleed occurs deep inside the nose. This nosebleed is caused by a bleed in larger blood vessels in the back part of the nose near the throat. This can be a more serious nosebleed than an anterior nosebleed. It can result in heavy bleeding, which may flow down the back of the throat. You may need medical attention right away for this type of nosebleed. This type of nosebleed is more common in adults.

Anyone can get a nosebleed. Most people will have at least one in their lifetime. However, there are people who are more likely to have a nosebleed. They include:

• Children between ages two and 10. Dry air, colds, allergies and sticking fingers and objects into their nose make children more prone to nosebleeds.
• Adults between ages 45 and 65. Blood may take longer to clot in mid-life and older adults. They are also more likely to be taking blood thinning drugs (such as daily aspirin use), have high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (hardening of the walls of arteries) or a bleeding disorder.
• Pregnant women. Blood vessels in the nose expand while pregnant, which puts more pressure on the delicate blood vessels in the lining of the nose.
• People who take blood-thinning drugs, such as aspirin or warfarin.
• People who have blood clotting disorders, such as hemophilia or von Willebrand disease.

What causes nosebleeds?

Nosebleeds have many causes. Fortunately, most are not serious.

The most common cause of nosebleeds is dry air. Dry air can be caused by hot, low-humidity climates or heated indoor air. Both environments cause the nasal membrane (the delicate tissue inside your nose) to dry out and become crusty or cracked and more likely to bleed when rubbed or picked or when blowing your nose.

Other common causes of nosebleeds include:

• Nose picking.
• Colds (upper respiratory infections) and sinusitis, especially episodes that cause repeated sneezing, coughing and nose blowing.
• Blowing your nose with force.
• Inserting an object into your nose.
• Injury to the nose and/or face.
• Allergic and non-allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal lining).
• Blood-thinning drugs (aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, warfarin, and others).
• Cocaine and other drugs inhaled through the nose.
• Chemical irritants (chemicals in cleaning supplies, chemical fumes at the workplace, other strong odors).
• High altitudes. The air is thinner (lack of oxygen) and drier as the altitude increases.
• Deviated septum (an abnormal shape of the wall that separates the two sides of the nose).
• Frequent use of nasal sprays and medications to treat itchy, runny or stuffy nose. These medications – antihistamines and decongestants – can dry out the nasal membranes.

What Causes Sinus Problems?

What made your good sinuses go bad?

The problem isn’t the sinuses themselves. They’re just hollow air spaces within the bones between your eyes, behind your cheekbones, and in the forehead. They make mucus, which keep the inside of your nose moist. That, in turn, helps protect against dust, allergens, and pollutants.

That’s all normal. So what happened to yours?

Leading Suspects

If the tissue in your nose is swollen from allergies, a cold, or something in the environment, it can block the sinus passages. Your sinuses can’t drain, and you may feel pain.

Sinuses are also are responsible for the depth and tone of your voice. This explains why you sound like Clint Eastwood when you're all stuffed up.

There are eight sinus cavities in total. They are paired, with one of each in the left and right side of the face.

• Two sinus cavities are in your forehead.
• Two are behind each cheekbone.
• Two sinus cavities are within the bones between your eyes.
• Two are behind each eye.

Common Sinus Problems

Blockages. Each sinus has a narrow spot, called the transition space (ostium), which is an opening that’s responsible for drainage. If a bottleneck or blockage happens in the transition of any of your sinuses, mucus backs up.

An extra sinus. About 10% of people have one. It narrows that transition space.

Deviated nasal septum. Your nasal septum is the thin wall of bone and cartilage inside your nasal cavity that separates your two nasal passages. Ideally, it’s in the center of your nose, equally separating the two sides. But in many people, whether from genetics or an injury, it’s off to one side, or “deviated.” That makes one nasal passage smaller than another. A deviated septum is one reason some people have sinus issues. It can also cause snoring.

Narrow sinuses. Some people just have variations in their anatomy that creates a longer, narrower path for the transition spaces to drain.

Sinus sensitivity and allergies. You may be sensitive to things in your environment and to certain foods you eat. That can cause a reaction that leads to swelling in the nose.

Your doctor can prescribe medications to control your symptoms. If you have sinus problems and allergies, you should avoid irritants such as tobacco smoke and strong chemical odors.

What is an ENT (Ear Nose and Throat Doctor)?
An ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT) specializes in everything having to do with those parts of the body. They’re also called otolaryngologists.
Some historians believe this to be one of the oldest medical specialties in the United States. It started in the 1800s when doctors realized that a person’s ears, nose, and throat had delicately connected systems that required special knowledge.
