Nose bleed may occur as a result of-
*mechanical injury-sometimes over rubbing the nose causes minor injury in the inner lining of the nostrils,which may lead to single
or both nostrils to bleed.
*hypertension,vitamin deficiency or drug abuse can also be the reason.
*For women, nose bleeds may also occur periodically following the hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle. In a process called vicarious menstruation, surging estrogen levels in the bloodstream can cause the vessels in the nose to fill up, leading to bleeds.
