How to clean thin earwax

Earwax is also known as cerumen in medicine, but cerumen generally refers to hard earwax. Some patients have thin earwax and often feel itchy in the ear canal, but cannot dig out the earwax. At this time, you can choose some methods or go to the ENT department of the hospital for cleaning, but you must be careful not to hurt the eardrum. The following is a detailed introduction on how to clean thin earwax.

The reasons for the degree of dryness are:

1. The degree of development of the individual's glands. If the secretion is too much, it will naturally be thinner.

2. How long does earwax stay in the external auditory canal? The longer it stays, the drier it becomes.

3. When washing your hair or taking a bath, water enters through the external auditory canal, which can also make the earwax thinner.

In addition, this is also related to genetics. Some people have loose earwax. In this case, it is best not to dig it out forcefully. It is recommended to go to the hospital and let the doctor perform professional cleaning. On the one hand, it can safely relieve pain, and on the other hand, it can also check whether it is caused by other reasons, so as to eliminate the cause as soon as possible.
