Epistaxis (Nosebleed) Treatment at NS Medical Center – Prompt, Expert Care for Safe Relief

At NS Medical Center, we offer specialized care for epistaxis, commonly known as nosebleeds. Whether you’re dealing with occasional bleeding or frequent episodes, our ENT specialists ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to stop the bleeding and prevent recurrence.

What Is Epistaxis?

Epistaxis is bleeding from the nose caused by irritation, trauma, or underlying health conditions. It may be:

• Anterior (front of the nose – more common and less severe)

• Posterior (deeper in the nose – often heavier and requires more urgent care)

Common Causes of Nosebleeds:

• Dry or cold weather

• Nose picking or frequent blowing

• Trauma or injury

• High blood pressure

• Nasal infections or sinusitis

• Blood-thinning medications

• Nasal tumors or polyps (less common)

When to Seek Medical Attention:

You should visit an ENT specialist if:

• Nosebleeds are frequent or unexplained

• Bleeding is heavy or lasts more than 15–20 minutes

• You feel lightheaded, weak, or have trouble breathing

• There is associated facial pain, discharge, or swelling

Our Epistaxis Treatment Includes:

1. ENT Evaluation:
   A nasal examination, sometimes with nasal endoscopy, to identify the bleeding source and any underlying issue.

2. Immediate Bleeding Control:
   We use methods such as:

• Nasal packing or cauterization (chemical or electrical)

• Topical medications to constrict blood vessels

• Nasal sprays and cold compresses

3. Advanced Care for Severe or Posterior Bleeds:
   In rare cases, arterial ligation or endoscopic surgery may be needed for deep bleeding sources.

4. Preventive Management:
   We address contributing factors like hypertension, infections, or dryness. Patients receive aftercare guidance and nasal hygiene tips.
