With the continuous improvement of economic level, people who love beauty are also unambiguous in their pursuit of beauty. They will wear some earrings, and those who have not pierced their ears will also wear them, but in fact, this dangerous behavior will be fatal if they are not careful. Let's share the death cases caused by ear piercing.

What are the risks of ear hole death case 1?

Not much to say, let's first look at two bloody cases:

Case 1: Xiao Min (pseudonym), 19 years old, had sudden low back pain and left leg pain. After his family moved to several hospitals, he was found to be "abscess of left sacroiliac joint" because of "Staphylococcus aureus infection" caused by ear piercing.

Case 2: Xiao Wang (a pseudonym) from Tonglu, Hangzhou spent 10 yuan in a jewelry store on the street and had his ear cartilage pierced. Results Within a few days, his ears were not only red and swollen, but also showed symptoms of pus, and finally he could only be treated for pus.

Why is it so risky to get your ears pierced?

The main reason is that the equipment has not been strictly disinfected.

Piercing ears only takes one or two seconds. The operation seems simple, but it is an invasive operation, which will cause skin damage and bleeding.

If the operator does not strictly disinfect the instrument, it may lead to wound infection and trigger inflammatory reactions, such as chondritis, otitis media and septicemia.

What is even more frightening is that some street shops repeatedly use equipment that has not been strictly disinfected, which may also cause the spread of infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and AIDS.

According to the Catalogue of Classified Management of Medical Beauty Projects in China, ear piercing has been clearly listed as "medical beauty surgery", which requires professional operation. [3]

However, shops with "painless ear piercing" can be seen in the streets and alleys, and many shops will also use "buy earrings for free ear piercing" to attract customers.

How to reduce the risk of infection after ear piercing?

The doctor reminded me to do three things after piercing my ears:

Keep the wound dry: try not to get wet before the wound heals completely, and be extra careful when washing your face and taking a bath;

Don't squeeze and knead excessively: avoid touching the wound directly with your hands to avoid infection; There will be some itching when the wound heals. Avoid squeezing and rubbing by hand.

Disinfect the wound frequently: disinfect it with iodophor solution/alcohol every day. If there is pus behind the ear hole, it is best to see a doctor in time.

Can I still get my ears pierced after all this trouble?

Sure! The safest way is to choose a regular and qualified medical institution to have your ears pierced, which can be sterilized, professionally operated, safe and secure!

Finally, one more thing, people who are allergic to nickel, chromium or other metals and people with scar constitution should try not to get their ears pierced.

There is no problem with ear piercing. The key point is to do a good job in ear hole nursing. If you really can't play, there are many beautiful ear clips to choose from ~

Deaths from Ear Piercing Case 2 19-year-old female college students were almost paralyzed!

Xiao Min (pseudonym), a 0/9-year-old female college student in Zhuhai/KLOC, was unable to walk independently for more than a month due to pain in her left lower limb. She went to the hospital with her family. After examination, the doctor found that Xiao Min was almost paralyzed, which was originally caused by an abscess in the left sacroiliac joint.

After asking about Xiao Min's medical history, I learned that the "culprit" who caused Xiao Min's near paralysis was actually "piercing his ears".

It turns out that Xiao Min had the experience of "piercing his ears" three months before the onset. After Xiao Min had his ear pierced, his left earlobe repeatedly oozed fluid intermittently for more than three months. Xiao Min and his family have never treated ear hole wounds.

Doctors say that Staphylococcus aureus, like Xiao Min infection, is the most common bacteria in typical human purulent infection. "Ear piercing is an invasive operation. If the operation is not standardized, it will greatly increase the chance of this bacterial infection. "

A woman in Baoji was infected by piercing her ears three years ago. Earrings actually grow directly in meat.

For many beauty lovers, ear piercing is usually a standard choice, but there are also many people who have added a lot of troubles because of ear piercing. No, Ms. Zhang, who is 4 1 year-old this year, found a shop at random on the roadside three years ago and got her ears pierced. She thought about beauty beauty, but it caused an infection. Without timely treatment, the gold earrings on her left ear were slowly embedded in the earlobe. In the past three years, the gold earrings in Ms. Zhang's left ear have never been taken off. In desperation, on March 19, Ms. Zhang went to the Medical Beauty Department of Baoji Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for help.

After making a diagnosis of Ms. Zhang, a medical beauty expert decided to perform correction surgery for the scar deformity of Ms. Zhang's earlobe, which can not only eliminate keloids caused by ear holes, but also restore the beauty of the ears without affecting the beauty lovers to continue their ear holes after surgery. After 1 hour operation, the gold earrings worn on Ms. Zhang's left ear for three years were taken out, and the "beauty embarrassment" that plagued Ms. Zhang for three years was finally resolved. Ms. Zhang is very happy to see her ears restored to their original appearance.

Zhang introduced that he has seen many similar "ear holes" in clinical work. Some women find a "pimple" in their ears after piercing, but in fact this "pimple" is a scar on their ears, also called keloid. It is keloid caused by local foreign body reaction and repeated inflammation caused by unqualified personnel's operation, improper disinfection and irregular operation during ear piercing.

Ear scars and acne will not only cause local pain and itching, but also gradually worsen, affecting facial beauty. For such patients, keloid excision and plastic surgery are usually performed, which can not only remove the "pimple" but also restore the beauty of the ear.

The doctor reminds beauty lovers that people who are scarred or particularly prone to scarring should try not to get their ears pierced, even if they want to get their ears pierced, they should not hit the cartilage area of their ears. At the same time, the most important thing is to choose institutions with formal medical qualifications for ear piercing to avoid greater hidden dangers such as infection and hepatitis B infection caused by irregular disinfection.

Case 3: A 15-year-old girl had a big accident while having her ears pierced.

Dayong full-time fire brigade received an alarm, and a safety accident occurred in a makeup shop in Dayong Town. The situation was very critical.

The rescue team came to the scene and found a 15-year-old girl with an ear nail gun in her earlobe, and her ear nail was red and swollen. The staff of the makeup shop held the ear nail gun in their hands to prevent the injury from getting worse. At this point, the girl was in a cold sweat and kept crying.

After understanding the injury, I found that the ear nail gun was stuck in the earlobe and could not be pulled out directly. So quickly adjust the rescue method, first cut the gun handle.

The rescue team immediately fixed the ear nail gun with small pliers and asked the makeup shop staff to comb the girl's hair neatly. Then the team members used insulated scissors to calm the girl's mood. Then the two team members carefully aimed at the position of the gun handle, and Qi Xin successfully cut the gun handle together.

At this time, the ear nail head is still stuck in the earlobe, but there is no bleeding and the body is not serious. In order for the girl to get proper treatment, rescuers asked her parents to send the girl to the hospital for disinfection immediately, and then the gun head was taken out by the hospital.
