Bloody nose mucus

[anonnov18]

Hello

I've been ill for a while..but I never had bloody nose mucus

Is this common while it advances?

Or could it be something else?

Im asking the doctors here..but the patients are welcome to answer too of course

There is alot of small blood smears covering the mucus

I know it's not from my throat..when my throat bleeds (i notice it)

Thank you

Do you have liver cirrhosis? Are you being followed by at least a gastroenterologist or better still by a hepatologist?

If you have liver cirrhosis it is best to be followed by a hepatologist associated with a liver transplant center.

Do you know your MELD score or Child/Pugh score?

Have you been evaluated for liver transplant and are you transplant eligible?

If left untreated, the liver can lose its ability to function correctly. One of the symptoms of cirrhosis can be nosebleeds, which can result from a reduction in platelets due to an enlarged spleen and the inability of the liver to produce clotting factors.

How is your platelet count?

Are you doing anything to prevent your cirrhosis from advancing?

Causes of nosebleeds;

fragile blood vessels that bleed easily, perhaps in warm dry air or after exercise.

an infection of the nose lining, sinuses or adenoids.

an allergy that causes hay fever or coughing.

bumps or falls.

an object that has been pushed up the nostril.

nose picking.

occasionally, a bleeding or clotting problem.
