Nasal Cautery: Effective Treatment for Nosebleeds

Nasal cautery is a simple, quick procedure used to stop recurrent nosebleeds (epistaxis) by sealing small blood vessels inside the nose. It is especially helpful when nosebleeds are caused by fragile or irritated blood vessels in the nasal lining.

When Is Nasal Cautery Needed?

Nasal cautery is recommended for patients who experience:

• Frequent nosebleeds

• Nosebleeds triggered by dryness or irritation

• Bleeding from a specific spot inside the nose that won’t stop easily

If conservative measures like nasal sprays or moisturisers do not help, cautery can provide lasting relief.

How Is Nasal Cautery Performed?

The procedure is usually done in the clinic under local anaesthesia. The ENT surgeon applies heat (using a chemical like silver nitrate or an electric device) to the bleeding site to seal the blood vessel and stop bleeding.

The process is quick, generally painless, and does not require downtime.

Benefits of Nasal Cautery

• Immediate control of nosebleeds

• Minimally invasive with no cutting or stitches

• Quick outpatient procedure

• Long-lasting results preventing recurrent bleeding

Recovery and Aftercare

After cautery, mild nasal crusting or discomfort may occur but typically resolves within days. Patients should avoid nose picking or blowing and use saline sprays to keep nasal passages moist.
