Can anybody tell me about ear suctioning?!?!
Question: Can anybody tell me about ear suctioning!?!!?
I had acute otitis externa (swimmers ear) and it keeps coming back so I saw a specialist and he said to come back next week to get both my ears micro suctioned!. He didn't tell me much about it all he said was that I didn't need a general anesthetic and that he'd use a machine!. But does anyone know if it hurts!?do they bandage your ears after!?how long does it take!?any info would be helpful!thanks everyone!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Nothing to worry about! This is a very very old method that people used a long time ago (using hollowed out cones for suction) that is virtually painless!. There will be a slight pressure as if your ears need to pop, but that only lasts seconds and then its over!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have had this myself!. It doesn't hurt but feels very strange while they're doing it!. It takes about 20 minutes or so and you walk out without bandages etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
