Winter Nosebleeds Risk Rises: Jehanabad Doctor Shares Causes & Prevention Tips

• The risk of nosebleeds significantly increases during winter, especially in North India, affecting high BP patients, the elderly, and those with asthma.
• Dr. Kumari Divya Mala, General Physician at Abhya Healthcare Hospital, Jehanabad, warns that high blood pressure is a primary cause, often unnoticed.
• Dry winter air reduces humidity, leading to dry capillaries and nasal passages, making them fragile and prone to rupture.
• Conditions like asthma, allergies, and runny nose can also contribute to nosebleeds due to trauma.
• Preventive measures include leaning head forward and pinching the nose during bleeding, staying hydrated, applying Vaseline or coconut oil inside nostrils, and high BP patients taking medication on time.

Why It Matters: Winter increases nosebleed risk due to dryness and high BP; follow doctor's advice for prevention.
