The dangers of wearing earrings to sleep

Many people wear earrings when they sleep, but they worry that wearing earrings for a long time will cause certain harm. In fact, this is not the case. Even if you wear earrings to sleep for a long time, it will not cause a big impact on your body. But you must pay special attention and try not to scratch yourself. You can wear smaller earrings and try not to pierce too many ear holes, otherwise it will cause infection.

It is harmless. In the early stage of ear piercing, you should insist on wearing earrings, otherwise it may heal. If inflammation occurs, if it is not serious, you can use sterilized medical silk thread to thread the ear hole instead of the earring to prevent the infection from getting worse. You can remove the earring at will after at least half a year without worrying about healing. However, you have to be careful about excessive movements during sleep, such as pulling, bumping, or squeezing your ears. In short, be careful. It's definitely harmless, don't worry.

The ears are special organs of the human body. Excessive ear piercing can easily lead to infection and even the risk of ear cutting.

Ear piercing will definitely cause wounds, which can easily lead to infection. Doctors usually use antibiotics to treat it, but the outer ear is mainly composed of cartilage, and the blood circulation in the outer ear is the least among all the head organs, so antibiotic treatment is unlikely to be effective. The blood circulation of the soft tissue on the upper part of the ear is much worse than that of the earlobe, so the chance of bacterial infection after piercing is much greater than piercing the earlobe. Earrings placed on the counter are exposed to the air for a long time and may not be clean. Some stall owners don't even use alcohol for disinfection before piercing. The so-called "painless ear piercing" on the street may not be safe. Some stall owners don't even use alcohol for disinfection before piercing. They just put the earrings on the tip of the gun, aim at the position, and pierce the auricle directly. More importantly, once the ear infection expands and develops into purulent perichondritis, or even causes necrosis of the auricle, surgical intervention is necessary.

Wound infection necessitates surgery

It is reported that four teenage boys in the United States were forced to undergo ear removal surgery because the wounds they pierced in the upper part of their ears became infected and could not heal after antibiotic treatment, so they had to undergo surgery. These young people all had their ears pierced in a jewelry store.

An expert who is an authority in the field of adolescent plastic surgery expressed regret when talking about this matter: "In fact, cases of infection caused by ear piercing have occurred in many countries, not just the United States and the United Kingdom. Boys are often more seriously ill than girls. Boys prefer to pierce the upper part of their ears and show off to each other who has pierced more. Moreover, they do not pay attention to wound care and hygiene at all."

Ear piercing is very painful

There will definitely be wounds when piercing your ears, and infection is inevitable, which can usually be treated with antibiotics. However, because the external ear is mainly composed of cartilage, it has the least blood circulation among all the head organs, and antibiotic treatment is difficult to be effective. The blood circulation of the soft tissue on the upper part of the ear is much worse than that of the earlobe, so the chance of bacterial infection after piercing is much greater than piercing the earlobe.

Once the ear infection expands and develops into purulent perichondritis, or even causes necrosis of the auricle, surgical intervention is necessary.

Experts say that piercing the upper part of the ear is actually much more painful than piercing the earlobe. It is not worth enduring the pain to pursue fashion while risking serious infection.
