What should I do if my nose is dry and bloodshot at the beginning of pregnancy?

The nose is dry and bloodshot in the first trimester. It may be that the dry weather leads to water shortage in your body. Therefore, in our daily life, we must drink eight glasses of water every day, especially for special people like pregnant women, and then we must ensure the normal operation of body water circulation.

Nosebleeds of pregnant women usually worry relatives at home. In fact, the common causes of nosebleeds in pregnant women are deviated nasal septum, dry air, local irritation and trauma. Pregnant women will secrete a lot of progesterone, which will make blood vessels dilate and congestion.

At the same time, the blood volume of pregnant women is higher than that of non-pregnant women, while human nasal mucosa is rich in blood vessels, and the blood vessel wall is thin and easy to rupture, resulting in nosebleeds. Especially pregnant women who change their posture or blow their noses after getting up after a night's sleep are more likely to cause nosebleeds.

In addition, pregnant women are also prone to nosebleeds in the following situations: such as trauma, fracture, surgery, skull base fracture and so on. The nose, paranasal sinuses and nasal mucosa are stimulated or damaged; Such as nose digging, severe cough, sneezing, forced nose change, foreign body in nasal cavity, etc. Inflammation and infection, such as acute and chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, rhinitis sicca, atrophic rhinitis and special infection; Hypertension, such as persistent hypertension, granular kidney, chronic nephritis, arteriosclerosis, etc. , will lead to a temporary increase in arterial blood pressure and nosebleeds.

Nose bleeding in pregnant women is a common situation in life. The common site of epistaxis in pregnant women is the mucosal vascular area under the nasal septum, which is clinically called Nissl's area. This area is rich in blood vessels and shallow in location. During pregnancy, due to the increase of estrogen level in the body, the mucous membrane of Nissl's area is swollen and the blood vessels are dilated and congested, which is more likely to cause nosebleeds.

Generally, occasional nosebleeds during pregnancy will not have a serious impact on the body. After emotional stability, local compression or stimulation of vascular contraction, bleeding often stops after a few minutes, without medication or injection treatment.
