Why is piercing dangerous?

Piercing is a dubious decoration, but we are not talking about aesthetics. What’s worse is that this type of self-expression sometimes leads to insoluble health problems.

The most traumatic type of piercing is the so-called tunnels in the ears. The earlobe is pierced, widened, and a ring is inserted into the hole. The danger is that there are many biologically active points in the ear, so in the pursuit of beauty you can get, say, a chronic migraine. In addition, if you suddenly get tired of wearing expander rings in your ears, be prepared for the fact that you will have to “wear” the hole from the piercing for the rest of your life. Tunnel holes rarely heal, and if this happens, scars remain.

No less dangerous is eyebrow piercing, in the area of ​​which the trigeminal nerve is located. An unsuccessful puncture can disfigure your face for life, no worse than a stroke. Damage to blood vessels in this area causes severe hematoma and threatens the rapid spread of infection into the subcutaneous tissue.

The genital area is actively supplied with blood. This is where the piercing can cause severe bleeding. The risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections also increases significantly.

If after tongue piercing your lymph nodes periodically begin to become inflamed, do not be surprised. In addition to this nuisance, jewelry injures tooth enamel, which often leads to dental diseases. But the worst thing is that an unsuccessful tongue piercing can lead to instant death (under the tongue there are two arteries and a vein, bleeding from which is very dangerous).
