Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Nosebleeds triggered by yawning are caused by conditions such as sinusitis and nasal polyps. Sinusitis is a relatively common disease that can significantly affect a patient's quality of life. It includes acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis. Acute sinusitis is usually caused by upper respiratory tract infections, possibly due to bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. Nasal polyps are a common type of rhinitis, primarily occurring in the maxillary sinus, middle nasal passage, and mainly involving the ethmoid sinuses.
