What are the disadvantages of ear piercing?

In today's society, women are pursuing beauty. There are countless kinds of decorations on the market, including earrings and earrings, which are very beautiful. However, if you want to wear these decorations, you must have pierced ears. The so-called ear piercing is to use a mechanical device to pierce a hole in the earlobe and other parts. This has led many people to question whether piercing the ears is dangerous. So what are the disadvantages of piercing the ears? Let me analyze it for you today.

Nowadays, many young people who pursue fashion are keen on ear piercing. Traditional ear piercing has also expanded from the earlobe to the auricle, ear canal and other places with dense cartilage. In order to save money, most people choose to go to shopping malls or roadside hair salons to get their ears pierced. However, hidden dangers also arise from this.

"Piercing the ears will puncture the skin. If the tools are unhygienic, there is a possibility of transmitting HIV and hepatitis B, etc. Piercing in places with cartilage tissue such as the auricle and tragus can easily cause infection. In severe cases, it can lead to cartilage necrosis, deformation, ear atrophy, and even induce facial nerve paralysis." Director Zhang also reminds young people: When piercing the ears, they should choose a regular medical beauty institution, and try not to pierce the ear cartilage. What are the dangers of ear piercing? Let the experts from Wuhan Yimeishang Plastic Surgery Hospital introduce them to us. The possible dangers of ear piercing are related to the surgical procedure. If the operation is not performed carefully, bacteria or foreign objects may be introduced into the wound, and the wound may become repeatedly infected and fail to heal, keloids may easily form.

Medical research shows that the nickel needles or certain metal earrings used in ear piercing can cause local contact dermatitis and keloids when the epidermis of the ear piercing is damaged.

In addition to being able to wear trendy earrings, the benefits of piercing your ears, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture points, are that there are many acupuncture points in the ear, and rotating the ear piercing insert can have a health-care effect of massaging and unblocking the acupuncture points. After piercing your ears, adding appropriate decorations can beautify your ears and bring beauty to yourself and others. Wearing silver or jade products on your ear holes can remove toxins from the body. However, the ear piercing must be done in the thick center of the earlobe, where there are fewer blood vessels and the nerves will not be damaged.

The disadvantage of piercing the ears is that the dirt in the holes is not easy to clean and can easily cause inflammation. In addition, too many piercings and too heavy ornaments can cause discomfort. It is feasible to pierce your ears, and it will have basically no impact on the body. However, if the ear piercing becomes infected and inflamed, you must be careful and seek treatment early, otherwise there will be hidden dangers. Moreover, young people nowadays regard wearing a row of earrings or ear studs on their ears as a fashion. Some even follow the fashion trends of celebrities and wear nose rings, lip rings, tongue rings, belly button rings, etc., which sounds really creepy at first. Besides, piercing the cartilage of the auricle is much more dangerous than piercing the earlobe. Because the auricle is mainly composed of cartilage, its blood circulation is poorer than that of the earlobe and its resistance to bacteria is also poorer, so it is more susceptible to infection. In case of infection, the anti-inflammatory antibiotics used to treat the infection will not be very effective when used on the auricle. If the infection is severe, it is likely to develop into purulent perichondritis and even cause auricle atrophy. Moreover, even if the auricle is well healed after piercing, the auricle is more susceptible to collision or pulling, and long-term stimulation of the cartilage may cause cartilage inflammation, thickening and other problems again. Therefore, you must be more careful in your daily life after having your ear pierced.

Through the above introduction, everyone should understand the disadvantages of piercing the ears. We must pay attention to hygiene after piercing the ears, change the earrings frequently and disinfect them. It is best to wear silver or gold jewelry for maintenance first, and then consider wearing other beautiful jewelry.
