Nose bleed is also referred to as epistaxis in medical terminology. The term nosebleed itself is used to indicate a common and harmless symptom but may have an underlying cause related to a number of other diseases. Nose bleed can be as a result of injury to the nasal cavity, congestion or even a high supply of blood to the local tissue which may lead to an increase in the frequency of nose bleed in a patient. The nose is also the most common part of the body that is subjected to trauma either intentionally or unintentionally.
