Diagnostic tests for Nosebleeds:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Nosebleeds. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • Blood pressure. High blood pressure may be a cause of the bleeding nose
    • After nasal trauma, must always inspect inside the nose for a blood clot in the septum because it may be later complicated by abscess formation and collapse of the nasal septum causing a permanent deformity
    • Determine where the bleeding is coming from - e.g. from Little's area in the nose (the front part of the nasal septum) or further up the nasal passageway. Ninety percent of bleeding noses result from bleeding from Little's area. Bleeding from this area is usually not a serious problem. However when the bleeding is from the back of the nasal passageway, one must always consider the possibility of a nasal cancer.
