Yes, both men and women can use tampons inserted into their nostrils to absorb blood from a nosebleed. Modern tampons are essentially a result of nurses using rolled-up bandages as tampons, thus it's not that big a leap to think of tampons being used in first aid. Tampons can be used to absorb blood from any part of the body in an emergency, for example if you had a big lump of glass in your skin you could put tampons either side of the glass so you could wrap it up in bandages without putting too much pressure on the wound (thus getting to hospital without bleeding everywhere).

Well to answer the first part the way you know if your nose is broken is if it is gushing with blood and it really really hurts. * Pain * Swelling; * Bleeding without stop * Bruises on face * Altered shape * Crackling sound when touched * Difficult breathing.

Why did my nose start bleeding I didn't hit it?

I didn't hit my nose but it just started bleeding. It happens before but it was a year ago. Help??? Many people have spontaneous nose bleeds, sometimes blood vessels get close to the surface and rupture with a sneeze, if it happens often or the bleeding wont stop right away you should see your doctor, a cancer of your sinuses can also do that so consulting your doctor should really be in order.
