Key points for diagnosis
(1) If nasal hemorrhage is mild, the nasal blood drops; if it is severe, nasal bleeding is very profuse.Some patients may have the accompanying symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, and palpitation, etc. In severe cases, hemorrhagic shock may occur.

(2) Examination of the nasal cavity may discover blood spots. For juveniles, bleeding mostly occurs on the anteroinferior part of the nasal septum; for middle-aged and old people, hemorrhage largely happens in the nasonasopharyngeal plexus of the posterior nasal part.

(3) While examining the nasal cavity to look for blood spots, check whether there exist deviation of nasal septum, tumour of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx or not.

(4) The discovery of the cause of bleeding may be assisted by blood routine examination, platetet count test, bleeding time test, coagulation time test, electrocardiogram, liver function test, kidney function test as well as X-ray film of the nasal part.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
