I learned to swim with my friends before. When I came back, I began to feel that my ears were always purulent for no reason, and it was very painful.

How does eardrum perforation do

The first step: generally under local anesthesia. The wound in front of the ear is about one centimeter. If the ossicle is broken or eroded before or during the operation, the ossicle should be reconstructed at the same time. Hospitalization generally does not exceed a week, depending on the status of middle ear inflammation, if it is a simple eardrum repair, sometimes in the outpatient.

Step 2: keep the external auditory canal clean and dry. After trauma, alcohol can be used to disinfect the external auditory canal, wipe and remove foreign bodies and cerumen. Do not remove the blood scab attached to the tympanic membrane. So as not to cause bacterial infection. Use sterilized cotton to gently plug in the external auditory meatus to prevent dirt from entering the ear and causing infection.

The third step: chronic otitis media perforation of the eardrum, in addition to lead to otorrhea, hearing loss, there is also the risk of forming cholesteatoma, so it is necessary to repair. The broken eardrum can be repaired with the fascia of temporal muscle beside the ear, with a success rate of more than 90%. Through this kind of tympanoplasty or tympanoplasty, ear leakage can be eliminated and hearing can be improved.
