Usysznie

Usysznie, also known as "earwax," is a natural substance produced by the ceruminous glands in the outer ear canal. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the ear by trapping dust, dirt, and other foreign particles, preventing them from entering the ear canal and causing infection. The color of earwax can vary from yellow to brown or even green, depending on the individual's diet and overall health. It is composed of a mixture of dead skin cells, oils from the skin, and bacteria.

Earwax is typically removed from the ear canal through natural processes, such as blinking, swallowing, or coughing. However, in some cases, it may accumulate and require manual removal. This can be done using a cotton swab or an earwax removal tool, but it should be done with caution to avoid damaging the ear canal or eardrum. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional if there are concerns about excessive earwax buildup or if there are signs of an ear infection.

Excessive earwax buildup can lead to discomfort, itching, or a feeling of fullness in the ear. It can also cause hearing loss if it blocks the ear canal completely. Regular ear cleaning is generally not recommended, as it can disrupt the natural balance of the ear canal and lead to infection. If there are persistent issues with earwax, it is advisable to seek medical advice.
