Nasal Cautery

Nasal Cautery is available through Mishe Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Nasal cautery is a medical procedure used to treat recurrent nosebleeds (epistaxis) by cauterizing or sealing off the blood vessels in the nose that are prone to bleeding. The procedure is typically performed by an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) and can be done in the office or outpatient setting. During nasal cautery, a chemical agent or a heated instrument is applied to the bleeding site to coagulate the blood vessels and stop the bleeding. This helps to alleviate symptoms and prevent future nosebleeds. Nasal cautery is a quick and relatively simple procedure that can provide long-lasting relief for individuals who experience frequent or severe nosebleeds. However, it may not be suitable for all patients, and your healthcare provider will determine if nasal cautery is the appropriate treatment option based on your specific condition and medical history.
