What is Epistaxis (Nosebleed)?
Understanding the causes and seriousness of nosebleeds.
Epistaxis is the medical term for bleeding from the nose. It occurs when blood vessels inside the nasal lining become damaged or irritated. Nosebleeds can happen due to dry air, allergies, infections, injury, or high blood pressure. Most nosebleeds originate from the front part of the nose and are easy to treat, but in some cases, bleeding may come from deeper areas and require medical care.
Our urgent care team evaluates your symptoms carefully to determine the cause and provide the appropriate treatment to prevent recurrence
