Written by Nahir Abdel Nabi Sunday, September 03, 2023 10:00 PM Experts emphasized that the ear is not only its function hearing But it may help you discover many things about your health, and according to what was reported by the British newspaper “The Sun”, experts explain the signs and symptoms of different conditions that you can notice on the ears, and may reveal a lot about our health and the diseases that we may be exposed to, most notably cancer, and among the most prominent signs that we are exposed to. They appear on the ear and indicate health problems:
heart disease
If you are under 60 years of age and have a diagonal crease across your earlobe, you may have a higher risk of coronary heart disease (CAD).
There is no definitive answer about the relationship between ear wrinkles and heart attacks, but some doctors believe that the underlying process that causes the two is similar.
One theory suggests that earlobe creases are related to the loss of elastic fibers in the skin, the same process that damages blood vessels in coronary artery disease. But if you’re experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath, make an appointment with your doctor.
Hypertension
Tinnitus could indicate blood pressure problems, if you haven’t just returned from a concert.
A common hearing problem is not a sign of anything serious and may get better on its own. For those with high blood pressure, tinnitus is a common complaint. Research published in NCBI found that 44% of those with tinnitus also had high blood pressure. blood pressure.
The connection between the two conditions relates to the network of tiny vessels in the auditory system, and when pressure builds up in this system, it can lead to symptoms of tinnitus.
A Brazilian study said tinnitus, which sounds like a pulsating or pumping sound, could be related to blood pressure.
fungal infection
Itchy ears may indicate a fungal infection. Fungi grow and spread in the ear canal. You may see yellow or black dots and fuzzy white spots in the ear canal.
And if Candida is the cause, you may see a thick, white, creamy discharge coming from your ear. Other symptoms include earache, crusting of the skin around the ear canal, headaches, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
If you develop any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider because fungal ear infections are unlikely to go away without treatment.
breast cancer
Some earwax is natural and beneficial. This yellow substance keeps insects and dirt from entering the ear canals, but earwax with a sticky, wet texture is not normal.
Some studies suggest that wet wax may be a sign of a mutation in the ABCC11 gene, which may increase the risk of breast cancer.
It is important to remember that the presence of wet earwax does not mean that a woman is at risk of developing breast cancer, as a study indicates that this is just one factor that increases the risk of breast cancer.
But if the earwax is bothersome, you can try buying some ear drops from the pharmacy, and never try to remove the buildup of earwax yourself with your fingers, a cotton swab or anything else, as this can damage your ear and push the wax down.
But if ear drops fail to thin the wax or make it less sticky, call your doctor.
red ear syndrome
Spending too much time in the sun can turn the ears red, but ear redness can also occur with red ear syndrome (RES), a rare condition that causes the earlobes to burn and ache.
But for some people the pain can be sharp and severe, and it can also spread from the earlobes to the cheeks, jaw, or the back of the head. If the symptoms are frequent or painful, or if you can’t hear properly, you should seek medical advice.
Kidney disease
Ears that have a few skin tags — tiny growths of flesh — may indicate kidney disease, and a study by the British Medical Journal suggested this was particularly the case for newborns.
Scientists have suggested that this is because the development of the renal canal and ears while they are in the womb occurs at the same time, therefore, any kind of disturbance or accident during this time can cause the kidneys and ears to malfunction in some way.
