Epistaxis

What is Epistaxis?

Epistaxis, commonly known as a nosebleed, refers to bleeding from the nostrils, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx. It can occur due to dry air, frequent nose blowing, injury, high blood pressure, or underlying health conditions. While most nosebleeds are harmless and self-limiting, frequent or heavy bleeding may require medical attention. At ESENS ENT, we diagnose the cause and provide appropriate treatment, from nasal packing to cauterization and preventive care.

Common Conditions of Epistaxis

Epistaxis results from broken blood vessels in the nose and may be recurrent.

Anterior Nosebleed

Most common type; bleeding from the front of the nose, usually mild.

Posterior Nosebleed

More serious; bleeding from deeper nasal arteries, common in older adults.

Trauma-Induced Bleeding

Caused by injury, nose picking, or frequent blowing.

Medical-Related Bleeding

Due to hypertension, blood thinners, or clotting disorders.
