What Are the Causes of Nose Bleeding?
The nose contains many fragile, tiny blood vessels. Nosebleeds are fairly common in the U.S., as the American Academy of Otolaryngology reports that approximately 14 percent of people will experience a nosebleed sometime in their lives. While nosebleeds are usually minor health issues, a person should seek medical attention if the nosebleed becomes severe, persists for more than 20 minutes, causes breathing difficulty or results from an injury.
