Korean celebrities have done too many things in private in order to become popular, which makes people feel a little distressed. There is a saying that has been circulating in the Korean circle: If you can survive, it’s Song Hye Kyo, if you can’t, it’s Jang Ja Yeon? Korean star IU revealed that she has been suffering from ear problems for a year and is in uncontrollable pain like hell. What is the cause of the disease?

1. Contents of the incident

Korean singer IU Lee Ji-eun revealed on September 18 that she has had ear problems for nearly a year. As a popular singer, she has had high demands and demands on herself over the years. Fans are worried about his health condition. It is understood that IU’s ear suffers from Eustachian tube patency, and the doctor pointed out that too thin fat tissue may be one of the reasons.

2. What is Eustachian tube patency?

The Eustachian tube is a tube that connects the middle ear cavity to the nasopharynx. It is mainly used to adjust the pressure in the eardrum. When the ear pressure needs to be adjusted, such as swallowing, yawning, etc., the Eustachian tube will be temporarily opened. , sends air from the nasal cavity into the ear to balance the internal and external pressure. Tian Huiji, director of otolaryngology at Ajou University Hospital, explained that the length of the Eustachian tube in adults is only about 3.5 centimeters. At this time, if the weight is lost too quickly due to pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, excessive weight loss or other reasons, it may affect the closure of the Eustachian tube, causing Eustachian tube patency.

3. Can Eustachian tube disease be completely cured?

Sorry, current medical technology cannot cure it for the time being, but people with open Eustachian tubes can drink more water, because when the body has enough water, the mucous membranes in the nasal cavity will be plumper, reducing Eustachian tube leakage. In the case of gas, as long as you drink more water, you can at least reduce the frequency of symptoms. At the same time, you should also avoid being dehydrated. For example, if you talk too fast and too much, water will evaporate easily. During exercise, a large amount of water loss will be more serious. Sometimes you are out of breath during heavy training or running, and the sound of your own breathing can be heard in your ears. This This is because the Eustachian tube is in a semi-open state.

Postscript: For actresses, body shape is something that needs to be paid attention to all the time. For normal people, healthy weight loss is the most important thing. Finally, I would like to remind people who are losing weight to lose weight step by step, on average. Just lose 7 or 8 kilograms a year, so that the originally abnormal Eustachian tube function can slowly recover and balance can be achieved automatically.
