00:00 When you feel itchy ears, some people will use cotton swabs or ear picks to dig ears.
00:07 But I believe many people have heard that digging ears is actually a very bad habit.
00:12 It's cool when you dig, but often use force and frequently dig ears
00:17 It may cause ear infection and easily cause diseases.
00:20 In Guangzhou, China, there is a man in his 50s who likes to use ear picks to dig ears.
00:25 And he feels uncomfortable without digging for a day.
00:28 This habit of the man has lasted for nearly 10 years.
00:31 Recently, he found that his left ear hurt and was still bleeding.
00:36 After going to the hospital for treatment, he found that he had ear cancer.
00:41 Digging ears can also cause cancer.
00:45 The man realized that the situation was serious after the treatment.
00:48 He regretted the bad habit he had developed for a long time.
00:51 But fortunately, the man is currently recovering after surgery and chemotherapy.
00:57 According to reports, a doctor who is a dentist in Guangzhou said
01:01 that the long-term digging of the ear will stimulate the skin of the outer ear canal.
01:06 This will cause skin injuries.
01:08 The malignant cycle will also cause new organisms to grow in the ear canal,
01:11 which will cause rare ear cancer.
01:13 The doctor said that ear cancer is a rare malignant tumor.
01:18 According to the incidence rate,
01:20 every 1 million people may have one person who is not fortunate enough to have ear cancer.
01:25 The patient's condition is often late when it is found.
01:30 The doctor said that the population of ear cancer is 40 to 60 years old.
01:35 Because ear cancer is not a typical clinical symptom,
01:39 the patient is easily mistaken as having an ear inflammation in the early stage.
01:43 There may be ear pus, ear pain, hearing loss, and dizziness, etc.
01:50 If there are too many ear holes in the ear,
01:52 which makes people uncomfortable, can't we dig them ourselves?
01:56 The doctor explained that if the ear hole clogs the ear canal,
01:59 which causes hearing loss,
02:01 it is necessary to clean it.
02:03 But if there are only a few ear holes in the ear canal,
02:06 it can be automatically excreted during oral movement,
02:10 so there is no need to repeat cleaning.
02:12 Excessive cleaning will stimulate your ear canal,
02:15 which will cause dyspnea, outer ear inflammation,
02:17 and even a recurrent acupuncture infection, etc.
02:21 If you want to clean your ears at home,
02:24 the doctor also gave some suggestions.
02:26 The doctor suggested that when cleaning the ears,
02:29 you can use a round and soft tool to gently clean the ears.
02:34 If you find that the ear canal clogging is more serious,
02:37 it is not easy to clean it up,
02:38 and you should not forcibly dig it,
02:40 but go to the hospital to deal with it.
02:42 If you want to clean the water in your ears after taking a shower or swimming,
02:46 you can use a single-legged jump to drain the water.
02:49 You can also use a size-appropriate disinfectant cotton swab
02:52 to dry the water in your ear canal.
02:55 But remember not to poke it into the ear canal,
02:58 so as not to push the earwax or sebum to the surface of the eardrum.
03:02 Thank you.
