Nosebleeds that keep coming back, or one that’s hard to stop? Most nosebleeds are harmless, but frequent or heavy ones have a cause worth finding. Get same-day, ENT-focused care for recurring nosebleeds, in person or by video.
A nosebleed (epistaxis) happens when small blood vessels inside the nose break and bleed. Most start at the front of the septum, where the vessels sit close to the surface, and stop on their own with gentle pressure. Dry air, frequent nose-blowing, allergies, picking, and blood thinners are common triggers. Less often, bleeding comes from deeper in the nose and is harder to control. Nosebleeds that happen often, last a long time, or are heavy are worth having checked.
Reasons to have nosebleeds checked include:
An ENT-focused visit can identify the cause.
Same-day appointments available. Most insurance accepted.
A nosebleed that keeps returning usually has a fixable cause, like a fragile vessel, dryness, or a spot that won’t heal. An ENT-focused exam finds the source and treats it directly.
During your visit, your ENT provider may look inside the nose with a small scope, find the bleeding point, and recommend a plan based on what they see.
Virtual ENT care can help if you have recurring nosebleeds and want to review the pattern, find likely triggers, and plan next steps.
An in-person visit is needed to find and treat the bleeding source directly, such as cautery for a fragile vessel, or to control bleeding that won't stop.
