10 Symptoms of Nasal Polyps
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #10: Nosebleeds
The lining of our nostrils internally is quite thin, and we have blood flowing just beneath the surface. This means that bleeding occurs here relatively easily. As such, nosebleeds are not usually something to be overly concerned about, but they may indicate that there is a problem somewhere.
Nasal polyps are likely to irritate these sensitive linings and they may even cause the lining to break. A runny and blocked nose can also be irritating and cause a lot of friction as the patient tries to rub and blow their nose. Thus, patients with the condition can find that nosebleeds are a fairly common occurrence.
