My nose bleeds almost every day for no reason. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Nose Bleeds
Mine does this too but usually only in the winter months when the weather is dry. Never fails, every morning when I get out of the shower... I've never been to the doctor over it only because I know it must be weak veins and I don't want to have them coterize it. I'd rather live with the bleeding!

Coterization
I had severe nose bleed's daily when I was about 15 years old. Sometimes it would gush for hours and it almost led me to the hospital a few times. After seeing an ear, nose, and throat specialist he decided to coterize. I didn't really know what was coming but before I knew it he was sticking something sharp up my nose to cause the bleeding to start and the rest I remember was just a lot of pain and blood and the Dr. Getting very irritated because I wasn't sitting still enough. You try to sit still while blood is running down your face and into your mouth. (i even spit a little on the Dr.....Grosss!) anyhow, needless to say this was a painfull and somewhat traumatic experience. However it have been almost a decade and I have never had a single nose bleed since then. So, if your nose bleeds are significantly getting in the way of your life you may want to consider coterization. I guess you just have to way the pros and cons.
