It totally changed my quality of life no joke! I am a nurse and I would get them mid shift for hours. I just couldn’t manage it anymore. I scheduled with ent and they took a look and cauterized ! I haven’t had a major one since (5+ years) I still get some bleeding with blowing too hard/ dryness but not nearly the amount
