What Is a Deviated Septum?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Nosebleeds
The walls of our nasal cavities internally are quite thin. This is one reason why nosebleeds are quite common, and even a high blood pressure can sometimes mean the tissues are broken and the blood is allowed to flow out. Nosebleeds are also quite common among people who have a deviated septum, especially when it is down to a recent injury.
Not only can the misalignment cause the fragile skin to break easily, but congestion and other problem may cause the patient to scratch and blow a lot, which would also contribute to the problem. If you experience nosebleeds regularly and you don’t know why, make an appointment with a medical professional.
