Hello,
* The condition of the colon can be related with a nose bleed in various directions as
- immunologic associations with HLA subtypes affecting colon pathology and coagulation pathway
- secondary disturbances with the coagulation factors through colon issue
- systemic effect of certain medications used for treating the colon problem as steroids or other immune modulators.
A thorough case study is mandatory to proceed further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
