Oŝo-Jabe:What is the Esperanto word for a nosebleed? I assume 'sanganta nazo' would be a nose as it's bleeding. But what about just 'nosebleed'."Nazsangumo" is the word that comes to my mind instantly but there's nothing official about that, I just made it up.
However, the NEAB wordlist for the (now defunct) GCSE in Esperanto suggests "nazsangado".
And for all of you who didn't understand my alphabet soup of acronyms there - it doesn't really matter. It's from a study list for a British exam.

I wish it had been offered in the late 1980s, I would have taken it instead of French and it would have probably been more use to me since

Miland:The Esperanto word epistakso, which is in PIV 2005, translates the medical term 'epistaxis' meaning a nosebleed. But I am more sympathetic towards nazosangumo, nazosangado, nazosangfluo, or indeed nazosangelfluo, the latter which is in fact the PIV definition of epistakso, for even if the nazo - words are not in PIV, they are surely legitimate compound words, as E-o permits, and I suspect that people like Auld and Piron would favour them over a neologismo formed from a medical technical term.I agree with you. And I think that Esperanto, like English, has plenty of room for both a technical terminology and a common speech terminology.
If I were living in an Esperanto speaking world and I went to a doctor with a nosebleed, I would fully expect her to write "epitakso" on my medical chart, under the listing of symptoms I display. But I would go home and tell my family that I went to the doctor with a "nazosangado". It's just like in English, where you would tell someone that you had a heart attack, though your doctor would write on your chart that you had a "myocardial infarction".
