What Does Profuse Bleeding In The Nose Indicate?

My partners nose has been bleeding uncontrollably for the past two days. Yesterday it bled twice and today three times. The blood is bright red colour and contains long, thick string type clots. I just want to know whether you’ve heard a condition like this. & if so what should I do?
