Doctor reminds: 'ear picking' seems comfortable, but it hides these health crises, don't take it seriously

In recent years, ear-picking has become popular in China. There are professional ear-picking shops in many regions, and the business is quite booming. Anyone who has experienced it can resonate, and the tingling between the numbness and itching of picking ears is just like being taken away by one's own soul. , there will be countless times after that.

　　However, behind the refreshing, have you ever thought about why picking and picking ears can be addictive?

　　In fact, for clinicians, the so-called orgasmic experience of picking ears is equivalent to a kind of psychological pleasure.

　　Because the inside of the ear is originally a hidden part that is difficult to reach to the bottom, it is gently swept by feathers and soft tools, which often causes nerve sensitivity. This kind of stimulation between danger and pleasure makes ear picking very popular. key.

　　However, one thing that everyone cannot ignore is that the ears themselves are very fragile, and the wrong way of picking and picking ears may feel comfortable, but there are also certain risks.

　　Because ordinary people do not have enough understanding of the structure of the ear canal, and ear picking is completely unknown and invisible to you, it is easy to cause ear damage.

　　For example, cleaning the ear with a cotton ball may cause the cotton on the surface to fall off and enter the ear canal, which in turn may cause an infection in the ear canal. If you use an ear scoop to pick your ears, it may damage the skin in the ear canal, breed bacteria, and then induce inflammation and pain in the ear canal.

　　There are also related studies that show that using a cotton swab to clean the ear will not completely remove the earwax. Some earwax may be pushed to the deepest part of the ear, causing it to attach to the eardrum and even affect hearing. ;

　　Moreover, everyone should realize that the earwax in the ear is actually cerumen , and its value is to protect the ear canal from being invaded by foreign substances. At the same time, the oil also moisturizes the ear canal. If the earwax is completely removed, it will undoubtedly remove the natural protective barrier of the ear canal and increase the chance of damage to the eardrum;

　　In addition, if you use too much force in the process of plucking your ears, and you go deeper when you pluck your ears, you may touch your eardrum. Especially in the process of cleaning the ear canal of the child, once the child moves erratically, the tympanic membrane is likely to be punctured , which in turn affects the normal hearing. In extremely severe cases, there may even be deafness and deafness. risk.

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that in fact, the human ear canal has the ability to clean itself. When the earwax accumulates too much, it will be expelled from the ear through the movement of muscles through chewing, talking, etc., and no special treatment is required at all.

　　If the accumulation of earwax affects hearing, the ear canal secretions become oily and stick to the ear, or there is an abnormal itching sensation in the ear. In this case, it is not recommended for everyone to clean it by themselves, and it is the right choice to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
