Taiwanese doctors reveal that “nosebleeds” may be a warning sign of cancer, revealing the early symptoms of “nasopharyngeal cancer”
Many people have experienced nosebleeds, which, aside from being caused by wounds or weather conditions, can also be a warning sign of cancer.

When the nose is itchy, rubbing the nose, sneezing, or blowing the nose, the inflamed mucosa may be damaged, leading to nosebleeds.
In winter, the cold air causes blood vessels to constrict rapidly, which increases blood pressure and makes them more fragile, making nosebleeds easier. In addition, the use of heaters dries out the air, which irritates the lining of the nasal passages and causes them to flake. When flakes are scraped off or peeled off, it can make nosebleeds easier.
