Question

Why do bloody noses usually only bled from one nostril?

In: Biology

Answer 1

When your nose is bleeding, you’re normally bleeding from a specific place on the inside of your nose (like if you make it bleed by picking it). The blood will come out of whichever nostral that place is in. When you bleed from both, it’s probably because the whole inside of your nose is dry to the point where bleeding happens in both nostrals.
