Nosebleed (Epistaxis) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Hidung Berdarah (Epistaksis)

Nosebleeds are common and usually harmless — most originate from the anterior nasal septum (Little's area) and are triggered by dry air, nose picking, or blowing the nose. However, recurrent or heavy nosebleeds may indicate underlying hypertension, blood clotting disorders, or medication side effects. Posterior nosebleeds — bleeding from deeper in the nasal cavity — are more serious and may require ENT intervention.

Symptoms of Nosebleed (Epistaxis)

✓Bleeding from one or both nostrils
✓Blood dripping down the back of the throat
✓Nosebleed lasting more than 20 minutes despite pressure
✓Recurrent nosebleeds several times per week
✓Nosebleed after trauma or head injury
✓Bruising, bleeding gums, or blood in urine alongside nosebleeds (bleeding disorder)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if a nosebleed does not stop after 20 minutes of correct first aid, if you have recurrent nosebleeds, if you are on blood-thinning medication, if nosebleeds are very heavy, or if nosebleeds are associated with bruising elsewhere. Seek emergency care for nosebleed after a head injury or associated with severe headache.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah doctors assess nosebleeds by examining the nasal passages for bleeding sites, checking blood pressure (hypertension is a common precipitant), and reviewing medications (aspirin, warfarin, NSAIDs). Blood tests including full blood count and coagulation screen are arranged for recurrent or severe cases. Local anterior bleeding points can be treated with silver nitrate cauterisation. Hypertension is identified and treated. ENT referral is arranged for posterior bleeds or recurrent anterior bleeds not responding to cauterisation.

What is the correct first aid for a nosebleed?▼

Maintain pressure continuously for 10–20 minutes. Apply an ice pack to the bridge of the nose. If bleeding does not stop after 20 minutes, seek medical care.

Yes, hypertension is a significant contributor to nosebleeds, particularly severe or posterior nosebleeds. Our doctors check blood pressure at every nosebleed consultation. If hypertension is identified, treatment is initiated as part of a comprehensive approach to preventing recurrent episodes.
