Why do I pick my ears every day, and there is still a huge earwax in the ear canal?

First of all, let's understand the earwax, earwax in medicine, is cerumen, there is a kind of gland on the outside of the ear canal, called the cerumen gland, the cerumen gland secretes a light yellow liquid, mixed with the shedding epidermal cells, ear hair and foreign bodies and formed, due to each person's genetics, living habits, and surrounding living environment are different, there are many types of earwax, some due to genetic relations, cerumen gland secretion is vigorous, and the earwax is yellow-brown viscous oil, that is, watery (commonly known as oily ears, wet ears); Some are thin white dander due to the evaporation of water from cerumen gland secretions; Cerumen gland secretions, ear canal ** chips mixed with the outside world to form brown large pieces of soft earwax; Some of these earwaxes evaporate to form a hard earwax, which is also known as iron earwax.

Does earwax have any function? Most people probably think that earwax is not good for the body, but only causes people to annoy and annoy. As everyone knows, every organ and substance in the body is not superfluous, including everyone who hates earwax.

First of all, cerumen gland secretions have the ability to lubricate the external auditory canal**, and the secretions also have a certain viscosity, which can be stained with foreign bodies, and the ear canal secretions also have a certain smell, which can repel mosquitoes and prevent insects from invading the ear canal.

Is it okay to pluck your ears every day? It is clear that this habit is not good and is a bad habit of life. There is a ciliary system on the outer two-thirds of the ear canal, and the cilia swing towards the opening of the outer ear canal, which can automatically discharge the earwax in the direction of movement with the occlusal movement and the growth of the ear canal**.

Frequent ear picking, the result is not only not clean, but the earwax is pushed deeper into the ear canal, ** there is no ciliary system, it is difficult to eliminate, so repeatedly, over time to form a hard and large iron earwax; Picking the ears can also damage the ear canal**, which is frequent for a long time and can cause diffuse otitis externa; Picking the ears can speed up the shedding of epithelial cells, but instead cause an increase in earwax, the appearance of tubular earwax, and the crust is cylindrical (that is, the more you dig out); When some people pick their ear spoons, they can accidentally injure and cause perforation of the eardrum.

When do you need to pluck your ears? Is it more appropriate to dig in**? It is recommended that it is best to wait for the earwax to run out of the external ear canal, and it is obvious to see, that is, under direct vision, when it is easy to take it out, it is recommended that it is best to let others use a thin cotton swab, which can be dipped in alcohol, and then gently take out the earwax.

If the earwax is large and hard, deep, the ear canal is narrow, etc., it is difficult to take out, it is recommended not to blindly deal with it yourself, go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital, now with the help of otoscopy and otoendoscopy, it is clear to see, the ear department has a special tool to take out the earwax, and it is best for the otolaryngologists to take it out. There is subway earwax, which is taken by the doctor, and it can also cause severe pain to the patient. Cerumen liquid can be dropped, which can soften the earwax, and after softening, it can be sucked clean with an otological suction device.

These earwax are mainly some substances secreted by people, and have a lot to do with people's physique.

Because of cerumen secretion or excretion disorder, due to the excessive secretion of cerumen glands, the external auditory canal enters the dust and mixes with cerumen to form a clump, forming a huge earwax.

This is because even if we pluck our ears every day, it is impossible for us to clean all the earwax in the ear canal. The tools we use such as ear pickers can only remove a small amount of earwax leaning against the external ear canal, and the earwax inside cannot reach or be pulled out by ourselves.

The earwax in the piercing ear is caused by the cerumen in the ear, and it is normal for some people to have a lot of earwax and become hard. Don't dig with things yourself, including your fingers. In this way, it is easy to damage the ear canal**, cause inflammation of the external ear canal, and even break the eardrum, causing otitis media.

Recommendation: Wipe the ear canal clean with a damp cloth. Insert a dry cotton swab into the ear no more than 1 cm, gently rotate it slightly, you can absorb the water and remove the filth, if necessary, you can go to the hospital otolaryngology department to be taken out by the doctor.
