With the rise of ear-plucking industry, more and more informal ear-plucking shops have been born.
According to my friends who have done ear plucking around me, the process of ear plucking is really comfortable. I really feel that my hearing will be clearer in a few days after my ears are removed, but the good times will not last long. After about a week, I felt my ears began to itch, my ears were blocked by something, and my hearing began to decline. I feel my ears are as wet as water.
So I went to the hospital for an examination and the results came out. It is because the ear digging tool is not clean enough to cause fungal infection in the external auditory canal. It took several months to basically cure.
Why can it cause fungal infection?
Many tools in the ear shop are not used by a customer, but their disinfection process is not formal. Spray some alcohol as disinfection, but alcohol can only destroy most microorganisms, and fungi can't be destroyed.
If the last guest has fungi or bacteria in his ear, cross-use is easy to cause bacterial infection.
Moreover, there is no formal ear-digging training in ear-digging shops. Inadvertently, it will poke the external auditory canal or blood vessels, causing ear pain and bleeding and increasing the risk of bacterial infection. If you accidentally find an ear-digging accident, such as a punctured eardrum, it may also affect your hearing and cause pus and bleeding.
The "earwax" in our ears, also called "cerumen", is a substance secreted by the cerumen gland in the skin of human external auditory canal. There are generally two forms, one is dry earwax, which is similar to dandruff. Most of the earwax in our ears exists in this form, and the other is
Do our earwax secretions need to be cleaned up in time?
Our ear canal doesn't need cleaning every day. Earwax can actually help us prevent dust and flying insects from entering the ear canal. Our ears have a self-cleaning system. There is no need to clean them too much in daily life. Most of the earwax will be discharged by external forces, such as chewing and swallowing, which will drive the ear canal to peristalsis, thus discharging the earwax.
In a few cases, due to excessive dust or narrow ear canal, earwax condenses into a ball, which will block the external auditory canal and affect hearing. At this time, you need to go to a regular hospital and clean it with professional tools.
At this time, it is best not to ask family and friends for help, and don't blindly pick your ears. Improper operation may scratch the ear canal or damage the eardrum, and may push the earwax deeper.
How to prevent fungal infection of external auditory canal at ordinary times?
1. Try not to let water into the external auditory canal. If water enters, shake your ears and blow dry with a hair dryer in time.
2, usually don't use hard things to clean, fingers, towels, cotton swabs are not good.
3. Don't wear headphones or earplugs for a long time, and clean things in your ears regularly.
4. If you have to wear ears, go to a professional and formal place or hospital.
To sum up, don't just pick your ears!
