How long it takes for a hemostatic sponge to finish absorbing is not generalizable, but depends on the material of the hemostatic sponge as well as the patient’s specific situation. Hemostatic sponges are usually used for nasal filling during nose bleeds and nasal surgeries. There are two types of hemostatic sponges, absorbable and non-absorbable. In the case of non-absorbable sponges, the material is usually removed on the second or third day. In the case of absorbable sponges, the sponge can be dissolved slowly, usually over a period of 1-2 weeks, when there is secretion, such as a large amount of nasal discharge after surgery or nasal irritation, which can slowly dissolve the sponge, and the patient can clean it up by rinsing it out with saline or by sneezing or blowing their nose. Sometimes the doctor can also clean up any dry, hard hemostatic sponges that are left behind when the patient is reviewed. Patients with frequent nosebleeds should quit the habit of picking their noses with sharp objects, and be careful when removing foreign objects from the nasal cavity to prevent damage to the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. In daily life, you need to drink more water, eat more fresh fruits, high protein food. If a nosebleed occurs suddenly when walking, it is important not to panic, so as not to further dilate the blood vessels, leading to the aggravation of the symptoms. At the same time, patients should pay attention to the day of the nosebleed should be prohibited from drinking alcohol, bathing, so as not to stimulate blood vessels, resulting in vasodilatation, resulting in bleeding again.
