CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nampons™, the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNSF), the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians (ACOP), and other leaders in nosebleed care are proud to recognize the first-ever National Nosebleed Awareness Week, officially launching May 25–31, 2025. This new national observance is designed to raise awareness about the widespread occurrence of nosebleeds, educate the public on causes and prevention strategies, and promote accurate first-aid practices to reduce unnecessary suffering and emergency room visits.
Each year, more than 65 million Americans experience nosebleeds, yet nearly 90% are unaware of how to treat them properly. This lack of knowledge can worsen symptoms, increase discomfort, and contribute to over $200 million in preventable emergency medical costs annually. Despite being a common occurrence, proper nosebleed management remains poorly understood. National Nosebleed Awareness Week aims to close this knowledge gap and encourage open dialogue about a condition often accompanied by stigma or embarrassment.
“Nosebleeds are far more common than people realize, yet many feel embarrassed or ashamed when they happen,” says Dr. Tonia Farmer, Board-Certified Otolaryngologist, Head & Neck Surgeon, and spokesperson for the campaign.
“National Nosebleed Awareness Week is about ending the stigma, educating the public on safe, effective treatment options, and reminding the millions who suffer that they’re not alone. With the support of incredible partners including the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians, Cure HHT, and Nampons, we’re proud to offer free resources that make proper care more accessible than ever.”
Nosebleeds can result from causes such as dry air, injury, allergies, pregnancy, aging, or underlying conditions like Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). A primary goal of this campaign is to help people recognize the cause of their nosebleeds and educate them on effective first-aid and care strategies.
National Nosebleed Awareness Week is a vital step in reducing stigma, improving health literacy, and empowering individuals to better manage this common condition. For more information, access to resources, and ways to spread awareness, visit nosebleeds.org.
