Misdiagnosis and Nosebleeds
Unnecessary hysterectomies due to undiagnosed bleeding disorder in women: The bleeding disorder
called Von Willebrand's disease is quite common in women, but often fails to be correctly diagnosed.
Women with the condition tend to have heavy periods, since they actually have a bleeding disorder.
Severe afflictions may result in the women receiving a hysterectomy unnecessarily, when the
underlying cause has not been identified.
See the introduction to Von Willebrand's disease and bleeding disorder....read more »

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.

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Nosebleeds.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- When did the nose bleeds begin? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- How often do you get nose bleeds?
- How much blood is lost on each occasion?
- Is the bleeding from one or both nostrils?
- Is there a simple reason for the nose bleeds? - e.g. nose picking.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Nosebleeds) may include:
- Pain with a blood stained discharge? - must consider nasopharyngeal cancer or acute sinusitis.
- Has there bleeding from multiple sites? - e.g. bleeding gums, heavy periods, easy bruising of the skin, rectal bleeding, painful swelling of the joints - may suggest the presence of a systemic bleeding defect.
- Widespread itchiness of skin? - may suggest myeloproliferative cancers that can cause an acquired bleeding disorder or iron deficiency secondary to blood loss.
- Tiredness, weight loss, fever, night sweats? - may suggest malignancy such as leukemia.
- Dry nose? - dry nasal passages increase the risk of nose bleeds. Dry nasal passages may be due to Sjogren's syndrome, air conditioning, aging, menopause and cocaine use.
