The flow of blood normally stops when the blood clots, which may be encouraged by direct pressure and reducing the blood pressure in the head by sitting upright with the head tilted forward for about 10 minutes.\n\nPetroleum jelly is sometimes applied to stop the blood from seeping out, but should not be used[citation needed]; as it is petroleum based, it actually further dries out the nasal cavity. Furthermore, it can seep into the lungs and cause a very serious condition known as lipoid pneumonia[citation needed].\n\nIf pressure, ice on the bridge of the nose, application of a vasoconstrictor, or other techniques do not work, a nasal tampon is usually the next step. The nasal tampon stops the bleeding by applying pressure from inside of the nose and is usually kept in for 1-3 days.\n\nChronic epistaxis resulting from a dry nasal mucosa is often treated by spraying saline in the nose up to three times per day. There are also non-petroleum based gels that can be used.\n\nPersistent epistaxis is an indication for urgent medical consultation. Nasal packing, cryosurgery, electrocautery or application of trichloroacetic acid are options that may be used in severe epistaxis.\n\nIt is uncommon to die from bleeding through nosebleeds. However, damage to the maxillary artery can lead to rapid blood loss via the nose and present difficulty in treatment, pressure, vasoconstrictor and rhinocort occasionally proving ineffective. Ligation of the artery, risking damage to the facial nerves, may be the only solution.\n\nA simple treatment for those who have nosebleed on a regular basis is to increase your daily dietary fiber intake. This would make the blood coagulation faster and help quickly stop the hemorrhage.\n\nNevertheless, severe protracted nosebleeds may cause anemia due to iron deficiency.\n\nIf a nosebleed lasts for more than 15 minutes, occurs following a serious injury, or is accompanied by severe blood loss, you should call your doctor or go to the emergency room.

Causes of Vaginal Dryness\n\nComplications such as night sweats and muscle cramps can be blamed on an imbalance of bodily systems and the diminishing functioning of organs because of aging kidneys and loss of estrogen. The kidneys become overworked because of the stress that estrogen loss has put on the organ, working harder to filter blood and regulate blood pressure and sugar levels. Without estrogen, the vital organs in the body become weak and can't balance water throughout the body, contributing to vaginal dryness. \n\n\nOther sources of vaginal dryness include medications (antibiotics, tranquilizers, antihistamines, antidepressants, blood pressure), chemotherapy and hysterectomy, and problems with the nervous system. Factors that contribute to dryness include douches, drying soaps, vaginal creams that can affect pH balance, and infections.

Leaking milk when you're not pregnant or lactating is called "galactorrhea". One cause is a usually benign growth in the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of the hormone prolactin, which causes milk production. (It is called a prolactinoma.) Milky discharge can also be a symptom of some kind of breast problem, though it is likely to be of benign origin. (Usually milky discharge is NOT indicative of cancer.) There is no connection between this symptom and menopause.\n\nRegarding your comments, I am curious as to your doctor's "not good" analysis...let us know what happens.

It is probably a cracked vein due to the dry air but you can get a satisfactory answer from an ENT doctor since he will suggest you to have the necessary blood tests done in order to find out what is wrong. I think it is the most satisfactory solution for your worries about your health.\n\nCheck out ;\nhttp://www.ctds.info/nose_bleeds.html\n\nhttp://menshealth.about.com/od/conditions/a/nose_bleeds.htm

i dont know about the other conditions,but one of the first signs of peri menopause is a burning sensation in tongue,caused by fluctuating hormone levels.if u are in upper 30's or more that might be the problem.

Because your nose is not very clean.  Try cleaning your nose out and u might see a difference.

because of the rapid release of estrogen

Effects of High Estrogen Levels \nIn women, estrogen circulates in the bloodstream and binds to estrogen receptors on cells in targeted tissues, primarily the breast and uterus. Estrogen hormones have many effects on your body, for example they are responsible for the growth and development of female sexual characteristics and reproduction.

I heard that eating alot of soy sauce would increase your estrogen level but thats only what I heard

Dry air can cause nosebleeds. The air pulls the moisture out of the mucous membranes in your nostrils causing them to crack (It makes the walls of the veins thinner which contributes to the cracking effect.) and thus bleed.  Winter is the worse time for this...My husband has already had three this year. I use just a small amount of Carmex on a Q-Tip to moisturize his nose. I also put a small kettle of water on the stove on low to "rehydrate" the air versus expensive humidifiers. Just make sure you don't leave it on at night or that the kettle runs dry...\n\nStress can also cause nosebleeds. Elevated blood preasure can cause the vessels to burst. Also, when people are chronically stressed they don't eat well or hydrate properly which can cause chronic nosebleeds. Try taking a multivitamin, getting enough liquids, and adequate rest and relaxation. Combined with the "dry air" treatment I described above you shouldn't have a problem.\n\nIf the problem persists for more than a few months, happens more than three times a week, happens even after above treatments, is painful, or bleeds excessively and won't quite call your doctor as this may be a sign of something serious. I had an uncle who had a tumor in his sinus' that caused nosebleeds. If you are concerned you should have it checked out.

I get sinus infections alot w/ my allergies. I suffer from Post Nasal drip, the best thing i found to relieve it is Sine-Off, it works the best and is the only medicine known to say it relieve post nasal drip right on the label. \n\nYou can find it at family dollar and other stores. i have provided a link to make it easier to locate for you. \n\nalso you can use vapo-rub from vicks. either put some on your neck and chest or fill a sink with steamy hot water and put a heaping tablespoon in the water to melt and hold your head above the water to inhale the vapors with a towel tented over you to keep in the heat and vapors. that also helps alot. I use the generic version its the same thing and alot cheaper. works just as great.

Maffei, et al investigated whether estrogen therapy exerted vasoactive affects on post menopausal, healthy women.  Their results, "obtained in healthy women in recent menopause, indicate that the ratio between vasodilator (NOx and prostacyclin) and vasoconstrictor (Estrogen Therapy) bioavailability shifted towards the previous ones after Oral-ET, while it remained unchanged after Transdermal-ET; moreover, catecholamines levels were reduced by both treatments already from 1 month of therapy. These changes might represent very early beneficial effects evoked by ET on the cardiovascular system."\n\nHwang et al investigated the long term effect of estrogen replacement on plasma nitric oxide levels and the effect of arteriosclerotic plaquing.  "In this study, we found no evidence for an estrogen-induced effect on plasma total NO levels which unlikely accounted for the mechanism underlying the 17beta-estradiol atheroprotective effect on subclinical atherosclerosis progression."\n\nKonukoglu, et al investigated plasma total homocysteine concentrations in obese and non-obese female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; its relations with plasma oxidative stress and nitric oxide levels.  They determined "there was no significant correlation between plasma homocysteine and plasma NOx, insulin and blood pressure. They thought that homocysteine might have a permissive role on the endothelium damage through free radical generating systems and the presence of obesity the free radical induced-damage has been elevated in diabetic patients."\n\nR.W. Ke et al was investigating Effect of short-term hormone therapy on oxidative stress and endothelial function in African American and Caucasian postmenopausal women.  In addition, HT's effect on plasma nitric oxide (NO) activity was determined as a measure of vascular endothelial function. They investigated the relationship of these markers and HT across race and the cardiovascular risk factors of smoking, diabetes and hypertension.\nThey determined that "Nitrite, the stable oxidation metabolite of NO, was measured by the Greiss reaction after nitrate reduction to nitrite with cadmium.Plasma levels of free 8-isoprostane decreased significantly after 6 weeks of HT. Although almost all subjects benefited from the reduction in free 8-isoprostane, PMW with at least one cardiovascular risk factor (n = 19) demonstrated higher free 8-isoprostane than did subjects with no risk factors. "\n\nIn sum it appears that estrogen in the form of oral hormone replacement therapy increases the plasma nitrite levels in diabetic, post menopausal females to a greater extent than that of their non-cardiac risk factor counter parts.

Talk to your doctor.  It could be just mucus from the hormonal changes.

My daughter was 8 years old and getting real bad headaches and horrible nosebleeds.Took her to the Dr. he said it was a sinus infection gave her nose spray and a prescription she was fine after that.He said nosebleeds were caused by dryness in the air, bad sinuses, or getting hit in the nose one time or another.I would take them and get them checked but that could be what it is...
