Why do nosebleeds happen?

633 views

It’s so weird that one moment my nose isn’t bleeding, I sneeze or blow my nose, and all of a sudden it’s like I opened the floodgates in my nose and blood drips out? Why is this?

It can depend. If you’re getting nosebleeds in the winter time, it’s likely that your mucous membranes are dry, and when they get dry, they can crack and bleed.

It might be from some trauma. I.e. you’ve been rubbing it and abrating it for some time (blowing your nose) and the tiny blood vessels there popped.

There are several others, but I’d think those are the major ones for when it would be random.
