Epistaxis, commonly known as a nosebleed, refers to bleeding from the nostrils, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx. While often minor and self-limiting, frequent or severe nosebleeds may signal underlying issues such as nasal dryness, hypertension, trauma, or bleeding disorders. Proper management involves identifying the cause, controlling the bleed, and preventing recurrence through medical or lifestyle interventions.

Timely ENT evaluation ensures that recurring nosebleeds are not a symptom of a more serious issue. Through modern tools and minimally invasive techniques, we help patients regain comfort and confidence, especially during dry seasons or post-injury recovery.

Everything you need to know about nosebleed management
Frequent nosebleeds can result from dry air, allergies, frequent nose picking, trauma, high blood pressure, or underlying medical conditions affecting clotting. Identifying the cause is key to effective treatment.
You should seek medical care if the bleeding lasts more than 20 minutes, occurs after an injury, happens frequently, or is accompanied by dizziness or paleness. These may indicate a deeper concern that requires ENT evaluation.
Stay hydrated, use a humidifier in dry environments, avoid nose picking, and apply nasal moisturizers if needed. If you're on blood thinners or have underlying issues, regular ENT checkups are recommended.
