Ear Syringing
Earwax is naturally produced by your body to protect the inside of your ear from water and infection. Some people naturally produce a lot of wax or produce hard and dry wax that is more prone to build-up.
Ear syringing is a routine procedure used to remove excess earwax, or cerumen, and foreign materials from the ear. Warm water is squirted into your ear to weaken and dislodge the wax. The wax flows out of your ear with the water. This is usually done by a nurse or doctor.
Some people feel dizzy after ear syringing but this quickly settles. Some people develop an inflammation in the ear canal following ear syringing. This causes itch and discomfort but can be treated with ear drops. Rarely, ear syringing can cause damage to the ear or eardrum.
