Thanks all of you. I did contact her Dr about it and she suggested being sure not to allow caffenated beverages as they affect the blood pressure and in turn affect the capillaries in the noes. Also She suggested avoiding Pseudophed unless absolutely necessary because it drys out the sinus membranes and makes them more brittle. I should also use a saline spray during dryer months and especially if I've given my daughter pseudophed for any reason. Also swabbing the inside of her nose with a Q-tip with vasoline or babyoil will help the membranes not dry out as much. For now she believes it best to leave things be.

This is not likely as I have had surgery and none of the women in my family have had chonically heavy periods only intense cramping. Also none of them have had trouble during surgery with coagulation. The nosebleeds that my brother and daughter have had are mostly controllable. The problem is the unexpectedness of the nosebleeds.
