What Causes Nosebleeds?
3. Trauma
Our noses are in quite a precarious position on the front of our faces, and they have little to no protection. They are also not particularly strong with a thin bony ridge that can be broken relatively easily. Thus, it is not uncommon for our noses to be damaged even with a fairly slight impact.
Injuries from an impact are among the most common causes of a nosebleed. They are particularly common among people who play sports and take part in other physical activities. Having recently undergone surgical procedures on the nose will also make it more likely that nosebleeds will occur.
