How Do I Treat an Infected Ear Piercing?

Ear perforation is the perforation of the tympanic membrane. The tympanic membrane is located deep in the external auditory canal, and there is less chance of trauma. Generally, it is caused by ear digging, foreign bodies in the external auditory canal, or foreign body removal, and injuries during . Palming the outer ear, swimming and diving, excessive eustachian tube expansion, or improper blowing of the nose can break the eardrum. A variety of otitis media can lead to perforation of the eardrum due to improper treatment.

Palming the outer ear, swimming and diving, excessive eustachian tube expansion, or improper blowing of the nose can break the eardrum. A variety of otitis media can lead to perforation of the eardrum due to improper treatment.

According to the location, size and shape of the perforation of the tympanic membrane, the nature of middle ear lesions can be roughly understood. For example, the perforations before and below the tympanic membrane are mostly caused by infections of the nose and nasopharynx. The perforation of the rear edge shows lesions invading the tympanic ring, and the perforation of the posterior upper edge shows lesions and relaxation of the upper tympanic tympanic sinus population and mastoid. Perforated lesions in the upper tympanum are often accompanied by ossicle necrosis. Generally, the central perforation of the nervous part is a purulent otitis media, which is unlikely to cause intracranial and extracranial complications. In addition, loud noise can cause explosive tympanic membrane trauma. Direct damage to the tympanic membrane is more common in temporal bone fractures or skull base fractures during brain trauma, and cerebrospinal fluid ear leakage can occur. Less common causes are damage to the eardrum caused by insect crawling in or accidental dripping of corrosive drugs.
