hi zulfa,bleeding from the nose is called epistaxis.it can be due to causes within your nose or due to other diseases in various organs of the body.you should visit an ENT doctor and get yourself examined.your doctor will perform a nasal endoscopy-the nasal passages will be visualized for diseases which can cause epistaxis.he will order blood tests to detect bleeding and clotting disorders.adenoids wont cause epistaxis.a few antiepileptics can cause bone marrow depression,which can cause a decrease in platelets giving rise to epistaxis.get well soon.dr praveen.
