What are the dangers of cerumen impaction? What is cerumen embolization?

In the case of cerumen embolism in the ear, if the ear is blocked, it will lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as ear blockage, stuffiness, hearing loss, and even persistent tinnitus symptoms. If a small amount of water enters the ear, it may cause cerumen to swell, compress the ear canal**, and even cause acute inflammation and infection of the ear canal, which will cause more severe earache symptoms. Some patients with long-term cerumen embolism may also develop cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal.

If the patient cannot take it out in time, it will aggravate the patient's symptoms after the water enters the ear, which is easy to cause infection in the ear and will cause otitis externa.

Cerumen embolism is a more serious phenomenon, if the cerumen is significantly enlarged or not cleaned for a long time, it will even block the gastrointestinal tract, and even lead to gastrointestinal stricture, if you do not pay attention to reasonable**, it may also lead to hearing.

The most popular word for cerumen embolism is earwax, that is, the ear is blocked by earwax, which is its symptomatic manifestation. The common reasons are as follows: 1. After the cerumen of the external auditory canal is dumped through water, such as bathing, swimming, etc., cerumen accumulates in the external auditory canal for a long time, and eventually causes cerumen embolism.

The cerumen gland in the cartilage of the external auditory canal can secrete viscous fluid, and the scab formed after the secretion is dried is called cerurum, which is called "earwax" and "earwax" in daily life.

A small amount of cerumen has the effect of protecting the external auditory canal** and preventing dust and foreign bodies from entering the inner auditory canal, but when a large number of cerumen gathers and crusts into a clump, it will cause the external auditory canal to be blocked, which is called impacted cerumen, and the patient's clinical manifestations are hearing loss, tinnitus, earache, and even vertigo.

If cerumen (earwax) gradually coalesces into a clump and is blocked in the external auditory canal, it is important to go to the hospital for treatment.
