Hi Everyone,
My 17 year old daughter always seems to get nosebleeds in the winter. They are getting worse, she seems to get them daily now. We are thinking of going to a Ear, Nose and Throat specialist to explore cauterization.

1. Do you know of any good ENT's in the Crystal Lake area?
2. Anyone have experience with cauterization? Is it painful? Did it work? Any side effects?

Thanks!
D.

What can I do next?

I had constant nosebleeds during my teen years and 20's and finally had it cauterized when I was 28. It was the best thing I ever did. I just wish I did it sooner! It didn't hurt too bad - maybe a little uncomfortable but not especially painful. But for someone who dealt with the embarrassment of nosebleeds for years (usually at inoportune times such as out for dinner, at work, etc) it was definitely worth it! I went to Dr. Glenn Schwartz, MD in Arlington Heights. He is with Suburban ENT Associates and his address is 880 W Central Rd, Suite 7200 Arlington Heights, IL 60005

I had this done when I was 15. I remember having a terrible taste in my mouth after it was done (it lasted about a day), no aftermath pain though. This was 22 years ago and I can recall no pain, but still remember the taste. I definately recommend getting this done.

I had mine done about 14 years ago..it was one of the worst things I had done. It felt like someone was taking a steak knife and scraping the back of my inner nose. That said I was having such horrible nose bleeds that I had no choice in getting this procedure done. I still get nose bleeds on the same side but nothing like it was, where it was pouring out at an uncontrollable rate.

I LOVE our ENT..Neil Pollock he is in Libertyville in the 890 building connected to Condell Hospital or he has an office in Grayslake. Good luck to your daughter

I use Dr. Standage at Affiliated Ear, Nose & Throat Physicians. They have an office on Rt. 31 in Crystal Lake, as well as 3 other offices. ###-###-#### is the # listed for that office. I go there for allergy-related issues, and so far I've like both Dr. Standage & the nurses.
