00:00Hey, do we have more WhatsApp?
00:02Mr. Director, help me please.
00:04There we go.
00:05Hi Doc.
00:06Why when it's very hot, my nose bleeds?
00:08Last week I bled twice.
00:10I'm Javiera from Maipú.
00:12You're absolutely right.
00:13This makes more sense, right?
00:14Yes, this does make a lot more sense.
00:16The nose in the previous area has a plexus of veins.
00:21It has a network of veins that are very fragile and very superficial
00:25and with the heat they vasodilate.
00:27And with the fragility and especially with the heat,
00:30and in Chile we have a climate that is rather dry,
00:32we don't have a lot of humidity,
00:33the mucosa dries up and these veins with the dryness and the dilation bleed.
00:39I advise this person that if the bleeding is repeated,
00:44and we have already seen that we have a lot of heat,
00:47we are going to have to ask this person to consult with the otorhinologist
00:51because there are treatments that are quite simple,
00:54not very expensive,
00:55where the vein that is bleeding is cauterized
00:59and that is a holy remedy, the vein is closed.
01:02The ideal is to stay well hydrated.
01:05There are some nasal creams that favor the humidification of the area
01:08to avoid capillary fragility
01:10and these bleeding that are,
01:12sometimes people wake up at night with the heat
01:14and have blood in the pillow, blood in the pajamas.
01:17It happens a lot to children too.
01:19That's right.
01:20There are also mechanical factors to disarm the area
01:25where there is also a mechanical trauma of the nasal area.
01:29Exactly.
01:30Don't stick your fingers in my nose, man!
