On September 8th, 2008, South Korean singer Iu revealed that she had ear problems for nearly 1 year. As a pop singer, her high expectations and health have been worrying fans for years. It is understood that IU's ear suffers from eustachian tube opening, and doctors point out that thinning of adipose tissue may be one of the reasons.
2. What is patency of eustachian tube?
Eustachian tube is a tube connecting middle ear cavity and nasopharynx, which is mainly used to adjust the pressure in eardrum. When the ear pressure needs to be adjusted, such as swallowing and yawning, the eustachian tube will be temporarily opened to send air from the nasal cavity to the ear to balance the internal and external pressure. Keiji Nagata of the Otolaryngology Hospital affiliated to Asian University explained that the length of the adult eustachian tube is only about 3.5 cm. At this time, if the weight loss is too fast due to pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, excessive weight loss or other reasons, it may affect the closure of the eustachian tube and lead to the opening of the eustachian tube.
3. Can the patency of the eustachian tube be completely cured?
I'm sorry, the current medical skills can't be cured for the time being, but people with unobstructed eustachian tube can drink more water, because when the body is full of water, the mucosa in the nasal cavity will be fuller, thus reducing the leakage of the eustachian tube. As long as you drink more water, at least the frequency of symptoms will decrease. At the same time, we should also avoid being in a state of water shortage, such as talking too fast and too much, and the water is easy to evaporate; When exercising, a lot of water loss will be more serious. Sometimes, when you retrain or run for air, your ears seem to be breathing on their own. This is because the eustachian tube is in a half-open state.
Postscript: For actresses, figure is something that needs constant attention. For normal people, healthy weight loss is the most important thing. Finally, remind people who are losing weight to lose weight step by step, with an average of 7 or 8 kilograms a year, so that the original abnormal eustachian tube function can slowly recover and automatically reach a balance.
