Nose hair always 'channeling' out? The doctor reminds: the nose hair is too strong, pay attention to these 3 problems

Mr. Zhang, who lives in Zhengzhou, suddenly suffered from nasal pain in the past two days . At first, it only hurt when touched. Later, it gradually developed into persistent pain, accompanied by nasal ulceration. Mr. Zhang was in unbearable pain, so he rushed to the hospital for treatment.

After the doctor's examination, Mr. Zhang suffered from nasal boils. It turns out that Mr. Zhang has the habit of plucking his nose hairs. He bleeds a little from plucking his nose hairs two days ago , but he didn't pay attention .

1. What are nasal boils? is it serious?

Nasal furuncle is a localized acute suppurative inflammation that occurs mostly in the nasal vestibule, the hair follicles, sebaceous glands or sweat glands of the nasal tip and alar parts, and the nasal vestibule is the most common.

It is mostly caused by nose picking, nose hair plucking, and trauma to the nasal vestibule , which in turn leads to bacterial infection. When the body's resistance is low, it is easy to cause nasal boils . The main symptoms are severe pain around the nostrils, local redness, swelling and heat , which can cause general discomfort and low-grade fever in severe cases.

Are nasal boils serious?

In general, after suffering from nasal boils, most patients can recover with timely treatment in the hospital. However, due to the mild early symptoms of nasal boils, it is easy to be ignored by patients and affects the treatment, which in turn leads to a series of complications , such as cavernous sinus . Thrombophlebitis, nasal alar or nasal tip perichonditis, orbital cellulitis, cheek and upper lip sub-cellulitis and even sepsis .

According to reports, the Third People's Hospital of Anshan City once admitted a patient, a 20-year-old male who complained of pain in the nose and face . Later, the upper lip and cheeks were red and swollen , accompanied by low- grade fever , and the diagnosis was nasal furuncles complicated with cheek cellulitis .

On the 3rd day of admission, he still had a high fever of 40-41 degrees Celsius, and the blood bacteria was cultured as Staphylococcus aureus . On the 4th day, he was diagnosed with nasal furuncle complicated by sepsis and was transferred to internal medicine for treatment. The doctor immediately gave a lot of antibiotics, artificial hibernation, and adrenal cortex hormone therapy. , but still no improvement, the patient eventually developed a weak pulse, shortness of breath, hepatosplenomegaly, and then died of shock .

Therefore, nasal boils are still very harmful to the human body, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment in time after the illness.

2. What role does nose hair play in my body?

1. Air purifier

The nasal cavity is the first stop of the respiratory tract, and it is the channel through which the human body exchanges gases with the outside world. The nose hairs that grow on the nasal mucosa are located at the forefront, like the guards of the door of the respiratory tract, responsible for the mission of preventing dust and bacteria from entering the body through the nasal cavity.

Any dust and bacteria that enter the nasal cavity will be stuck by the nose hair, and then the mucus secreted by the nasal cavity will stick to form the nasal mucus, which will be excreted from the body, or enter the stomach with the mucus and be eliminated by gastric acid.

If the nasal cavity accidentally inhales large foreign objects, such as flying insects, the nose hair can not only prevent them from entering the body, but also send a signal to the brain nervous system to remove these larger foreign objects by sneezing, thus effectively preventing A foreign body enters the body.

2. Protect the olfactory nerve

The olfactory nerve is one of the most important sensory nerves in the human body. The presence of nose hair provides a good protection for the olfactory nerve, preventing the olfactory nerve from being reduced or absent due to external force damage or foreign bacterial infection . Once the olfactory nerve is damaged or missing, people cannot smell any odor, which has a great impact on people's lives.

3. Maintain the temperature and humidity of the nose

The nose hair can maintain the temperature of the nasal mucosa, so that the cold air from the outside will not be directly inhaled into the trachea, which ensures the temperature of the air inhaled by the human body. At the same time, the nose hair can also keep the nasal mucosa moist , which can prevent dry or atrophic rhinitis and prevent nosebleeds .

4. Can reflect human aging

The graying of hair is the witness of human aging, but the nose hair can better reflect the aging of the human body .

Geriatric experts believe that it is more accurate to measure the degree of human aging from the degeneration rate of nose hair than to calculate the number of gray hairs.

Because, first, the number of nose hairs is less than that of hair, it is easier to calculate the proportion of white nose hairs, and it is difficult to calculate the whitening rate from a large number of hairs quickly and accurately;

Second, hair decreases with age and even becomes bald, while nose hair does not fall out with aging .

Third, for the sake of appearance, people often dye their hair to make calculations impossible, while nose hairs are not camouflaged to affect calculations. A study of 300 healthy men aged 18-63 found that the older you were, the greater the whitening rate of nose hair.

3. Why do some people's nose hair grow to "channeling" out? Explain what?

The length of each person's nose hair is actually caused by various reasons.

1. Hormone secretion can affect the length of nose hair

Studies have shown that the length of nose hair is also related to the secretion of hormones by the human body.

Men with strong androgen secretion will have more energy and body hair will grow vigorously, and women who have strong androgen secretion will also grow moustache . With the continuous improvement of living standards, various delicacies emerge in an endless stream. Many young people eat junk food for a long time , which will lead to excessive hormones in the human body, which will affect the human endocrine system, resulting in strong body hair and rapid growth of nose hair.

2. Genetic causes

If a person’s nose hair is longer than that of his peers since he was a child, and it often runs out of the nasal cavity, it is likely to be related to parental genetics. Many studies have pointed out that 7 kinds of physical characteristics of the human body are easily passed on to children, including skin color, height, obesity. Thin, eyes, nose, jaw, ears . Due to genetic problems, parents with long nose hair may also have long nose hair in their children.

3. Long-term nose picking will lead to excessive nose hair

I believe that many people have the experience of picking their noses when they were young, but some people take it as a habit, picking their noses whenever they feel uncomfortable. Such behavior is very uncivilized.

Second, such behavior can irritate the nose hair, causing it to grow rapidly. Moreover, our hands touch various objects every day, and it is inevitable that bacteria will be left on our hands. When picking our nostrils, the bacteria will remain in the nasal cavity, and the nose hair will grow rapidly to protect the nasal cavity.
