| ENT Consultation + Nasal Cautery | £410 | |
| Nasal Cautery Follow-up Consultation | £150 |
Nasal cautery – sometimes called nose cauterisation or nasal cauterisation – is a procedure that can be used to treat recurrent nosebleeds where a suitable bleeding point or blood vessel can be identified.
At MUMS, nasal cautery is performed by experienced ENT Consultants.
Children & Adults
Consultation + Nasal Cautery – £410
A £100 deposit is required to secure your appointment.
Your appointment begins with an ENT consultation so that your Consultant can assess your nosebleeds and examine the inside of your nose.
If a suitable bleeding point is identified and your Consultant considers nasal cautery appropriate, the procedure can usually be performed during the same appointment.
If nasal cautery is not required or is not clinically appropriate, you will only pay the £245 ENT consultation fee.
Sometimes there may not be an obvious bleeding point to cauterise. In this situation, your Consultant may recommend further examination or investigation to help establish the cause of your nosebleeds.
This may include nasal endoscopy, which uses a thin flexible camera to examine further inside the nasal passages.
Nosebleeds are common and can occur for many different reasons.
The inside of the nose contains many small blood vessels close to the surface. These can become irritated or damaged and begin to bleed.
Possible contributing factors include:
If you experience repeated nosebleeds, an ENT assessment can help identify the likely source and determine whether cautery or another treatment is appropriate.
Nasal cautery is a relatively short procedure used to seal a blood vessel that is contributing to recurrent bleeding.
Where an appropriate bleeding point is identified, your ENT Consultant may use silver nitrate to carefully cauterise the affected area.
Local anaesthetic is used where appropriate to minimise discomfort.
Your Consultant will explain the procedure to you beforehand and discuss whether cautery is suitable for your particular circumstances.
Nasal cautery is commonly performed on one side of the nasal septum at a time.
Your ENT Consultant will examine your nose and determine which area requires treatment.
There is a small risk of damage to the nasal septum following cautery, including a rare risk of developing a small hole in the septum – known as a septal perforation. Your Consultant will discuss the relevant risks and benefits with you before proceeding.
The inside of the nose can be sensitive, but measures are taken to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
You may experience a brief stinging, burning or uncomfortable sensation during or following treatment.
Your Consultant will make sure you understand what to expect before the procedure begins.
Your Consultant will give you specific aftercare instructions following treatment.
The treated area may feel tender, irritated or uncomfortable for a short period while it heals.
Depending on your individual treatment, your Consultant may recommend an ointment or other aftercare to help protect the area.
It is important to avoid picking, rubbing or disturbing the treated area while it heals.
You will also be advised what to do if another nosebleed occurs and when you should seek further medical advice.
Nasal cautery can be effective in reducing recurrent nosebleeds when an appropriate bleeding point can be identified, but no treatment can guarantee that a nosebleed will never recur.
Occasionally further treatment may be required.
If you are still experiencing nosebleeds following your procedure, MUMS offers a nasal cautery follow-up appointment for £150, where appropriate, within three months of your original cautery.
Please contact us if bleeding continues so that we can advise you on the appropriate next step.
Please tell MUMS when booking if you:
Do not stop any prescribed medication unless specifically advised to do so by an appropriate clinician.
Mr Aakash Amlani and Mr Jack Limbrick assess children with recurrent nosebleeds and can perform nasal cautery where clinically appropriate.
The Consultant will first assess your child and explain whether cautery is suitable.
Whether the procedure can be performed during the appointment will depend on the clinical findings and the individual child's ability to comfortably tolerate the procedure.
Nasal cautery can usually be performed reliably from 7 years of age. However, every child is different, and the age provided is only a general guide based on when most children can comfortably manage the procedure. Some younger children may be able to proceed, while some older children may find it difficult. Suitability will be assessed individually by the clinician, and completion of the procedure cannot be guaranteed. If the procedure is started but has to be stopped for any reason, the full procedure fee will remain payable.
