Surgery For Hemophilia Carriers

My Nose Bleed Lasted Hours, What Works Best? VWD
I regularly get them on my left side and have had it cauterized three times. I use a Tampon to help for a clot and stop it but this was a five tampon event in my nose over just two hrs. I also just let it run in the sink for awhile out of frustration! Should I use the DDAVP NOSE spray in this case??
Is that over the counter ?
