Nasal endoscopy revealed red blood streaks

In modern society, more and more people are deeply troubled by rhinitis. Most patients with rhinitis will just let it go, and as long as the rhinitis does not develop to a serious level, they generally will not take special treatment methods. However, rhinitis may also develop into nasal cancer and nasal polyps, so everyone must treat rhinitis with caution. Among them, nasal endoscopy is an effective medical method to detect the internal conditions of the nasal cavity. What is the reason for finding red blood streaks inside the nasal cavity using nasal endoscopy?

Is blood in the nose a sign of nose cancer?

Bloody discharge from the nose does not necessarily mean nasopharyngeal cancer. It is mostly caused by severe rhinitis. Observe whether you have a runny nose due to snot or mucus, or when you are exposed to cold air or eat hot and spicy food, or whether there is sticky stuff stuck from the back of the nasal cavity to the throat. If any of these conditions occur, you already have rhinitis. When the symptoms of rhinitis worsen, the swollen nasal and throat mucosa capillaries are ruptured when you cough, blow your nose, or talk loudly, and a small amount of blood enters the secretions. When you spit it out, the secretions become bloody. In this case, if you treat your rhinitis well, the secretions and nasal mucosal bleeding will disappear naturally.

Causes of bloodshot nose

1. Local causes: The nose is hit by external force or the nose is picked too deep or too hard. The nasal septum is curved or has ridges or calcarine processes. Because the local mucosa is thin, it is easy to bleed after being irritated by air. People with acute rhinitis and atrophic rhinitis are prone to bleeding. In most cases, bleeding is caused by tumors in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, or nasopharynx, such as hemangiomas, malignant tumors, etc.

2. Systemic causes: High arterial pressure, such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Increased venous pressure, such as mitral stenosis, pulmonary edema, etc. Suffering from acute febrile infectious diseases, such as upper respiratory tract infection, influenza, etc. Blood diseases, such as leukemia, hemophilia, various purpura, etc. Liver, spleen diseases and rheumatism. Poisoning by phosphorus, arsenic, benzene, etc. can destroy the function of the hematopoietic system and cause bleeding. Compensatory menstruation.

So I really scared myself, because there are many reasons for the bloodshot nose, not just nasal cancer, so we must first establish a correct viewpoint and not jump to conclusions. If you are still worried, you still need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. Such wild thoughts will not produce any results!
