Female white -collar workers are addicted to their ears to cause "long mold" in their ears

(Correspondent Ma Yaoyao) Recently, a female white -collar worker has the symptoms of ear pain, dull and hearing. In the hospital, the doctor checked her external ear canal and found that the fluffy fungus balls were growing in her ears, just like a mold. After the doctor asked the medical history in detail, he found that patients usually liked their ears.

Ms. Wu, who lives in Hankou (Hua surname) is 30 years old. She used to feel itchy in her ears. She liked to dig out. After a long time, she was addicted to her ears. You will take out the tools and make your ears. More than half a month ago, Ms. Wu bought a "ear -making artifact" online, and the frequency of making her ears has been higher since then.

Three days ago, Ms. Wu suddenly felt a little pain in her ears, and a bit dull. After sleeping, the symptoms not only did not relieve it, but worsened, and the right ear could not hear the sound of Qing. Later, she came to the Houhu Hospital of Wuhan Central Hospital to see a doctor.

In the outpatient clinic, Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of ENTC found through ear endoscopy and found that the outer ear canal of Ms. Wu was blood and swelling on both sides of the ear canal, with a thick crust on the wall of the ear canal, and there were many furry things on the surface. After carefully cleaning and further investigation, it was found that there was a perforation with a diameter of about 1 mm in diameter of her right ear. Deputy Chief Physician Jia Min diagnosed Ms. Wu to get fungal external ear canal inflammation, and the perforation of the right ear drum membrane caused hearing damage. In the process of inquiring the medical history in detail, Deputy Chief Physician Jia Min learned that Ms. Wu had the habit of like to dig out her ears, and this time her ears "long mold" is related to this bad habit.

Chen Wei, director of the Department of ENT, introduced that in recent years, there have been many fungal diseases visited by otolaryngology. The external ear canal is small and deep, which is suitable for fungal growth. Among the patients with fungal outer ear canal inflammation, nearly nine Chengdu has the experience of often going to the foot washing shop to pick up ear.

Director Chen emphasized that people call the secretions of their ears as earwax, and they feel that earwax is the waste of the human body. The scientific name of the earwax is 耳, which has a protective effect on the ears. The earwax is acidic, which keeps the outer ear canal to maintain an acidic environment, with the ear hair on the ear canal to resist external bacteria invasion. Under normal circumstances, the outer ear canal does not need to clean up. People can shake the inner caramel of the ear canal when chewing the motion of the jaw and sleeping, so that the 耵聍 will fall by itself. Take your ears at will and remove the 耵聍, which is equivalent to removing the external line of the ears and let the bacteria invade the ear canal and the tympanic membrane. Essence

Experts remind that if you feel unwell, you can use cotton swabs to dip glycerin or vegetable oil to moisturize the ear canal to relieve symptoms. If ears pain cannot be relieved, ears flow, hearing decreased, etc., you must immediately go to the hospital for treatment.
