Due to different causes, the symptoms of nosebleeds in pregnant women vary. Most cases of nosebleeds during abortion are unilateral, while bilateral nosebleeds are relatively rare. During nosebleeds, there may be intermittent and recurrent bleeding, as well as persistent bleeding. When experiencing nosebleeds, attention should be paid. So, what is the reason for pregnant women experiencing nosebleeds?
After pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body secretes a large amount of progesterone, causing blood vessels to dilate and become congested. At the same time, the blood volume of pregnant women is higher than that of non pregnant women, and the nasal mucosa of humans has more abundant blood vessels and thinner blood vessel walls, making it easier to rupture and cause bleeding. Especially when the body changes position or blows its nose after a night of sleep, waking up, it is more likely to cause nosebleeds.
Generally speaking, menstruation does not occur during pregnancy. But there are some pregnant women who are more prone to nosebleeds, which is mainly due to compensatory menstruation caused by nasal mucosal bleeding. Whether pregnant women will experience nosebleeds is related to their individual physical condition. As long as the amount of bleeding is not excessive, it is harmless to the body. In addition, a deficiency of vitamin K can also lead to nosebleeds. If pregnant women have insufficient absorption of vitamin K, the decrease in thrombin in the blood can easily cause coagulation disorders, not only nosebleeds, but also congenital visual and intellectual developmental disorders in the fetus.
The amount of bleeding during nosebleeds is often uncertain. In mild cases, there may be blood in the nose, which can be a few drops or milliliters, while in severe cases, it can reach tens or even hundreds of milliliters or more. If nosebleeds repeatedly occur due to a disease, and the amount of bleeding is large and long-lasting, one should be vigilant and seek medical treatment promptly.
