Will earwax grow all over the ears? Do you need to dig out

Hello, Earwax is the secretion of the inner glands in the cartilage of the external auditory canal, which acts as a cleanser and also protects and lubricates the ear canal. About 95 people will have a very thin layer of earwax attached to the surface of the external auditory canal**, which will form pale yellow or brown flakes after exposure to air, and will fall off and expel on their own during activities such as chewing, running and jumping. For the other 5 people, there is often yellow sticky earwax in the external ear canal, and if the ears are often plucked, mold will accumulate in the ear canal, resulting in moldy ears.

However, unless there are two of the following conditions, one is earache, which requires earwax removal and examination of the ear canal to determine whether it is otitis media; The second is that excessive earwax causes hearing obstruction, but these must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. In general, it is best not to pick up earwax by yourself, especially for the elderly, due to the decline in ear sensitivity, many people have broken ears, and it is difficult for them to notice. If you want to remove earwax, it is best to use cotton balls, and avoid using ear pickers, hairpins and other metal objects that can easily damage the external ear canal.

Hello! Generally, the earwax that appears in the ear belongs to the normal excretion in the ear, and it will automatically fall off to a certain extent, so it is best not to dig it out often!

It is recommended not to pick the ears often, it is easy to damage the ear canal or inner ear, and the possibility of inducing otitis media is greater.

Under normal circumstances, it will not be overgrown, it will fall off naturally, and it can be cleaned regularly, but don't dig too often.

Some oily ears or ear canals with strong secretion are easy to accumulate and block the ear canal, which becomes hard and thick after a long time, which needs to be cleaned up in the hospital, and it is usually necessary to pay attention to cleaning up.

Earwax, scientific name cerumen. It is a mixture of oil secreted by the epidermal cells of the external auditory canal and the stripped epidermis. Healthy cerumen is flaky, yellowish-white.

However, due to individual differences, some earwax is brownish-black or globular shaped, and if too much cerumen accumulates, it will block the ear canal and affect our hearing.

Hello The earwax in the eyes of the human ear is commonly known as "earwax", which is medically called ceruen, which is generally pale yellow and wax-like crumbs, and there are also oily or relatively hard and large pieces. So, how did Javenid come about? It turns out that there is a section of the ear and eye (L 3 cartilage segment outside the external auditory canal) that is different from the ** elsewhere in the body, that is, there is a variant of the sweat gland called the cerumen gland, and its structure is somewhat similar to the sweat gland.

The external auditory canal**, like the rest of the body**, has a sebaceous gland that secretes a type of oil. From a physiological point of view, these secretions in the cerumen gland are expelled from time to time through the opening. At first, the secretions that have just been spit out from the cerumen glands look a bit like melted wax, and they mix with the oil excreted by the sebaceous glands to form a thin layer attached to the surface of the **.

These primitive earwax are mixed with the dust in the ear canal and the debris that fall off, and after drying, they become a small piece of pale yellow loose flake cerumen and accumulate in the ear canal. Some people secrete a lot of cerumen glands and sebaceous glands, and the discharge is brownish-yellow, oily viscous substance, which has accumulated in the eyes of the outer tract before drying, and some even flow out of the ear, and some condense into a clump, which is collectively called soft earwax, commonly known as "oily ear", and is called oily cerumen in medicine. There are also some people who have particularly strong cerumen gland secretion; The earwax cannot be discharged again, and gradually dries and gathers into dark brown hard lumps, sometimes hard like stones, tightly blocked in the external ear canal, commonly known as hard earwax, medically called cerumen embolism.

If you find that there is cerumen embolism, especially after the ear canal is flooded, the cerumen swelling causes ear stuffiness, hearing loss or even ear pain, you should consult a specialist for treatment, and do not dig indiscriminately, so as not to cause ear canal inflammation. If you feel too hard and it hurts to pluck your ears, it is recommended to drop 3% sodium bicarbonate solution to soften it before digging. If it affects hearing, it should be accepted** to avoid cerumen impaction.

If there is a headache, fever, hearing loss, etc. Should otitis media be suspected? Upstairs said that chewing too much will produce cerumen and it is recommended to eat less. Quite the opposite, actually!

When chewing, due to the movement of the mandibular joint, it can precisely promote the discharge of cerurumen, and the patient generally minds that the patient chews more to promote the discharge of cerumen.

In this case, it is best to go to a doctor, diagnose clearly, and do it as soon as possible, so that time and money will not be wasted, and it is also the most reliable, I recommend you to Wuhan Minsheng Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist Hospital in the region, Wang Huili expert is very famous.

Hello, earwax is an oily secretion produced by the cerumen gland in the human ear canal, which is yellow, also known as earwax, scientific name: "cerumen." "It protects the eardrum and acts as a barrier. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
