Boxing/nose bleeding

Question
Hey, my name is James Strongman, and I have a really bad problem with my nose.  It bleeds every fight, and it doesn't take very much for it to start.  Right now it doesn't bother me much, because I don't have to go into the later rounds.  What could I do to prevent the bleedings, and what should I do inbetween rounds. Thank you.

Answer
You need to see a doctor, as you may have a deviated septum.  After you have done this and get the go ahead from the doctor, then you should get a full face head protector that will help you in your sparring.  The best coagulate for bleeding that I know of is adrenaline 1/1000.  Talk with your trainer and doctor for further advice.

Thanks,

Joe
