Epitympanitis Cholesteatoma

Cholesterol or cholesteatoma is a chronic benign tumor inside the ear canal. It predominantly develops in men between 20 and 40 years of age. The first symptoms are periodic pain in the ear area and constant nasal congestion. The cause of this pathology is infection with fungi or staphylococci.

A cholesterol tumor is clearly visible during otoscopy and is often detected by its characteristic odor. The formation slowly grows in the main bone, gradually narrowing the bone of the auditory canal. Due to the disease, hearing is impaired.

The stages of cholesteatoma occur as follows. Very often we see that there is a hairy brush in the external auditory canal.

And accordingly, when it interferes, you need to either cut it off or remove it. And there are people who take their hairs home and remove them there themselves. This is the "tassel"
