What is a plug (earwax or earplugs)?
The plug is not really dirt. There are special glands in the ear canal skin that secrete. The task of this oily epidemic, called earwax, which is actually the body's natural product, is to hold dust and other particles to prevent them from reaching the eardrum. Normally, it accumulates a small amount in the ear canal and is occasionally ejected spontaneously with the dust particles it holds.
Do not clean your ear for your ear healthHow to clean your ear?
You should never clean your ears. The deepest part of the outer ear canal has an eardrum. Any object to be inserted to clean the ear can push the ear secretion towards the membrane or damage the eardrum. People who use a cotton swab with a cotton swab, think that they are cleared when they see the secretion plastered to the tip of the cotton, but they push most of the outbreak towards the membrane.
Why does the plug accumulate?
Ear secretion is normally thrown out, but in some cases it accumulates in the ear, causing congestion.
Foreign body insertion to clean the patient's ear
Work in dusty and dirty environments
Cannot be thrown out due to stenosis in the external ear canal
Swelling of small amount of outbreak in the outer ear canal during bathing or bathing
What to do when the ear is clogged?
First of all, the examination of a ENT specialist should determine whether the obstruction is actually due to the plug. Not every ear pain and obstruction may be caused by the plug. Once the plug is detected, the only thing to do is remove the plug. Up to 3 methods are used for this:
Cleaning with curette
Vacuum with aspirator
Washing with water
Which of these methods is used is selected by the ENT specialist according to the condition of the outer ear canal and the plug. The only disadvantage of washing with water is that the eardrum can damage the middle ear when the eardrum is a hole, and it is also objectionable to apply it to external ear infections.
How often should the ear be cleaned?
Cleaning the plug is not a periodic process. Whenever it becomes congested, it is cleaned.
Does the ear that has been washed once should always be washed?
This is a completely false belief. Washing the ears has nothing to do with habit. Some people accumulate more quickly in the ear canal.
