What is bilateral mastoiditis

summary

I've been learning to swim these days. I often soak in the water. I feel that my ears seem to be in water. I keep dribbling. Moreover, I feel that my hearing has become poor. I went to have an examination for bilateral mastoiditis. My eardrum has been damaged. The doctor said that surgery may be needed. Now let's learn what bilateral mastoiditis is.

What is bilateral mastoiditis

First: mastoiditis is the acute suppurative inflammation of mastoid air chamber mucosa and bone, which is mainly developed from acute suppurative otitis media. Visible mastoid skin swelling, flushing, obvious tenderness. The posterior superior wall of the external auditory canal was red, swollen and collapsed. The perforation of tympanic membrane was small, and there was pus pulsation at the perforation, and the amount of pus was large. Sometimes the pus breaks through the outer wall of the mastoid process and forms an abscess under the periosteum.

Second: after the occurrence of acute mastoiditis, it will break itself and expand outwards within a certain period of time. Simple mastoidectomy should be performed in time to remove the suppurative material drainage at the middle ear and mastoid, so as to prevent the expansion outwards, forming retroauricular abscess, and expanding inwards to form intracranial complications such as meningonitis.

Third: if it is chronic mastoiditis, the mastoid is sclerotic. The risk type can cause the destruction of mastoid bone. The bone ulcer type can cause the necrosis of tympanic sinus and mastoid bone, the formation of granulation tissue, the enlargement of tympanic sinus and the destruction of mastoid bone. It can be best treated by surgery.

matters needing attention

In general, if patients with mastoiditis want to be cured, they must have surgery. If they want to recover through drug treatment, it is difficult to cure, and it is easy to relapse. Therefore, patients must be treated decisively.
