Otitis media puncture surgery

I believe that many people do not know the surgical procedure of otitis media puncture surgery, nor do they know the effect of this surgical treatment. Therefore, in order to increase everyone’s understanding of otitis media puncture surgery, it is recommended that you can learn about the following content. When it comes to the operation of otitis media puncture surgery, we should choose a regular large hospital, otherwise it will affect the hearing of the ear and cause inflammation.

Eardrum puncture is a minor surgery that can be done on the spot without hospitalization. Eardrum puncture is an artificial method to create a hole in the eardrum to facilitate the discharge of fluid in the eardrum. It is generally a method of treating otitis media. This method is usually used when otitis media causes fluid in the middle ear. When people hear the word "puncture", they will have questions. The eardrum is a sensitive organ. If the eardrum is ruptured, doesn't it mean deafness? Is there any danger in eardrum puncture surgery? Let me explain it to you slowly.

Steps/Methods:

1. Eardrum puncture is a relatively minor operation. Although it is a minor operation, it still requires anesthesia treatment, so the ardrum puncture will not feel painful, and you can resume normal work and study on the day of the operation, and it will not have any impact on various activities. The hole left by a punctured eardrum usually closes within the next day.

2. For patients with more serious otitis media, multiple tympanic punctures are needed to drain the fluid in the ear. If the hole left by the tympanic puncture has not healed on its own for more than a month, it means that the epithelium at the edge of the perforation has grown well. Although it is unlikely to heal on its own, it is not difficult to make it heal.

3. However, generally speaking, eardrum puncture is performed when fluid accumulates in the ear. Fluid accumulation in the ear is a symptom of otitis media. For the treatment of otitis media, it is generally not recommended to perform eardrum puncture first. Moreover, puncturing the eardrum can drain the fluid in the ear, but it cannot cure otitis media fundamentally.

Note:

Through the above explanation, everyone has some understanding of the otitis media puncture surgery, right? This is indeed a minor operation and there is almost no risk, but since it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure, it is not recommended if there are better options.
