Expert Medical Information

Experiencing frequent nosebleeds from the left nostril can be attributed to various potential causes. The most direct reason for nasal bleeding is the rupture of nasal mucosa and small blood vessels, which can be triggered by factors such as:- Nasal trauma- Dry air- Exposure to irritating pollutants- Fatigue- Staying up late- Excessive consumption of alcohol- Spicy foods- A deviated nasal septum- The presence of vascular tumors, bleeding polyps, or nasopharyngeal fibromas in the nasal cavity, sinuses, or nasopharynxAdditionally, systemic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, and endocrine disorders can also lead to recurrent nosebleeds. If the bleeding consistently occurs from the left nostril, a thorough examination of the left nasal cavity, sinuses, and nasopharynx is essential. Treatment should be tailored based on the findings of this examination.
