Ear discharge may be due to boils in the external auditory canal, otitis externa, acute purulent otitis media, etc.

1. Furuncles of the external auditory canal: It is a localized purulent inflammation of the external auditory canal, which is mostly caused by bacterial invasion of the hair follicles, sebaceous glands and cerumen glands in the cartilage of the external auditory canal. The disease can cause an abscess in the ear canal, which can cause pus in the ear when the abscess breaks down.

2. Otitis externa: It is a widespread acute and chronic inflammation of the external auditory canal or subcutaneous tissues, which may be caused by microbial invasion after the resistance of the external auditory canal itself decreases or is damaged. In the early stages of the disease, patients may only have a burning sensation in their ears.

As the disease progresses, the patient's external auditory canal will first discharge a thin discharge, and then the discharge will gradually thicken into purulence, causing the patient to have symptoms of ear pus.

3. Acute purulent otitis media: It is an acute purulent inflammation of the middle ear mucosa caused by bacterial infection. In the early stage of the disease, the tympanic mucosa will be congested, edematous, and the blood vessels will also dilate, and then red blood cells will leak out of the capillaries, collect in the tympanic cavity, and gradually become purulent.

When there is more pus in the tympanic chamber, the tympanic membrane may become compressed and ischemia, which can eventually lead to a perforation of the tympanic membrane. At this point, pus from the tympanic chamber drains through the broken eardrum, causing the patient to experience symptoms of pus in the ear.
