Warning
Cauterize nose procedure was a big mistake for my family. It took 10+ years to fully recover! Even if you get massive gushers that make other people want to call 911, find alternative solutions.
Nose bleeds can be caused by so many other conditions in the body.
Keep the nose moist. Try natural oragnic salve, cocnut or olive oil. Stay hydrated with good water. Don't strain to hard on the toilet. (high blood pressure)
avoid nasty chemical fumes, dust, smoke.
Blow your nose when it has mucous.
Prevention is key.
Avoid Petroleum jellies including "vasiline" thesae lead to chronic sinus problems.
Diet, diet, diet
Good luck but consider a new doctor if they want you to burn or freeze your bleed.

Hi guys, My sinuses were thinned out as a child from years on the ventilin mask and my nose used to bleed heavily all the time until I was a teenager. You can squeeze your nostril for a while and roll some kleenex and put it in your nose and wait for it to stop. Also what really worked for me is getting my nose cauterized by the doctor. I wish I had gotten that earlier. Now my nose doesnt bleed anymore, I might get a little bit of blood in my snot but thats it. You guys should try it it really works. My nose went from bleeding once a week or so to 0-1 times a year.
