What are the characteristics of capillary bleeding?
Capillary hemorrhage is characterized by fused ecchymosis, forming purpura, and causing gingival and nasal bleeding. These are observable symptoms, but there are also unseen symptoms, such as bleeding in the digestive system, which can cause nausea, vomiting, and even hematemesis. Once capillary hemorrhage occurs, it can be relieved through compression, heat application, and other methods. Additionally, timely examination is necessary.
The main characteristics of capillary hemorrhage are skin and mucous membrane purpura, with varying sizes of purpura that do not fade when pressed, and can fuse into ecchymosis. There may also be nasal and gingival bleeding. If capillary hemorrhage is caused by allergic purpura, there may also be symptoms of the digestive system, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and hematemesis. It can also cause joint pain and kidney changes.
1. Stop bleeding with compression: After local cleaning, use gauze to compress and stop the bleeding. Generally, local bleeding can be stopped in a few minutes to a dozen minutes. Usually, no further treatment is required, but suturing can be considered if bleeding persists.
2. Through heat application: Symptomatic treatment primarily involves local heat application or the use of ointments that promote the absorption of blood stasis, such as Hirudoid ointment.
3. Timely examination: Perform a blood routine examination to check for reduced platelet levels and a coagulation function test. Some cases may be due to increased fragility of local capillaries or increased intravascular pressure, leading to vessel rupture and bleeding.
4. Timely medication: Take oral vitamin C, rutin tablets, calcium tablets, etc., to increase the density of small blood vessels and prevent recurrent capillary hemorrhage.
