Do you know why my ears are running?
Experts tell you that under normal circumstances, most people's external auditory canal is always clean except for some epithelial shedding and a little dry. If abnormal liquid accumulation or outflow is found in the external auditory canal, it is called otorrhea in medicine, which is what we often call ear running water, and it is a common symptom of ear diseases. Ear leakage can come from different parts of the external auditory canal, middle ear and tissues around the middle ear. According to the etiology, location and pathological changes, there are the following types of otorrhea: fatty otorrhea: due to excessive secretion of cerumen glands in the external auditory canal, most of them are yellowish brown or yellow oily, generally tasteless, commonly known as oily ears. Suppurative otorrhea: it is a manifestation of suppurative inflammation, which is common in acute and chronic suppurative otitis media, otitis externa, furuncle and so on. In addition, rare suppurative parotitis, suppurative cervical lymphadenitis, etc. Suppurative otorrhea can also occur when it breaks into the external auditory canal. If the pus is not much and stinks, the possibility of cholesteatoma should be considered. Hemorrhagic otorrhea: mostly related to trauma, bullous otitis media, ear trauma and some otitis media can also be considered, but be alert to hemangioma or middle ear cancer. Especially middle ear cancer, blood in pus, foul smell in pus, or severe earache and headache are ominous. Suspected tissues of external auditory canal or middle ear should be taken for pathological examination to determine the diagnosis and treatment measures. Water-borne otorrhea: it mostly occurs in skull base fracture and tympanic membrane rupture after craniocerebral trauma, with clear watery liquid slowly flowing out of the external auditory canal and mixed with blood. This is the characteristic of cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea, because it can cause meningitis and needs special attention. Serum-like otorrhea: pale yellow, transparent and thin liquid, mostly serum leaked from serous glands of middle ear mucosa or blood vessels, which can be seen in early aspiration of secretory otitis media and overflow after tympanic membrane intubation, or in the period of otitis media improvement; If there is a large amount of liquid of this nature and it continues to overflow, it is probably allergic otitis media. Describe your symptoms to an expert and let the expert analyze them for you. Experts remind that the above conditions will cause serious harm to patients, except for oily otorrhea, which has little effect on patients. The running water in the ear canal may cause infection and spread to form a brain abscess, or it may turn into chronic otitis media, resulting in hearing loss, intermittent or persistent pus in the ear, which may eventually develop into a malignant tumor of the external ear, seriously threatening health. Therefore, when the symptoms of ear running water are found in the early stage, you should go to a professional otology hospital for scientific examination and treatment in time. Running water in the ear is one of the symptoms of various ear diseases. Therefore, the treatment of running water in the ear must be based on whether the patient has earache, itching, hearing impairment, course of disease, overflow, facial paralysis, etc., and thoroughly remove the focus. Xi Anxin Zhong Da Tinnitus and Deafness Research Institute uses physical therapy to directly treat ear diseases, which is your first choice for treating ear diseases. Principle of physical therapy: Physical system therapy mainly refers to taking some physical therapy methods to act on ear lesions synchronously, combined with drug penetration, forming a three-dimensional therapeutic effect of audio vibration and physical and chemical superposition, which can effectively improve ear microcirculation and promote drug absorption. Through physical therapy, hearing can be effectively improved, especially for some patients with otitis media with early onset. Physical therapy features: ① Effective treatment of ear diseases such as otitis media. ② No pain, patients not only feel no pain, but also often feel comfortable and relaxed because of their quick response and quick pain relief. ③ No side effects.
