Is rigid otoscopy painful

Patients who undergo a rigid endoscopy generally do not experience significant pain because the ear canal is not very deep and the depth of penetration of the rigid endoscope is not very deep, so there is no significant pain. However, some people’s ear canals are particularly narrow, which may result in some pain when going in. It is recommended that a soft endoscopy be considered, and the pain should improve significantly. Otoscopy can clearly visualize the condition of the patient’s tympanic membrane and the mucous membrane of the external auditory canal, which is of great significance in the diagnosis of otological diseases. If you experience ear discomfort, you can consider performing an endoscopy, and if the disease is diagnosed, you need to actively treat the symptoms to improve the symptoms.
