There is no good or bad distinction between otitis media tube placement without something flowing out.
Otitis media tube placement treatment is mainly used in cases where the middle ear effusion is unable to drain out of the middle ear cavity from the Eustachian tube route after standardized conservative treatment of chronic secretory otitis media. This type of patient has a poorly functioning Eustachian tube and a middle ear effusion that is too viscous to be drained from the normal channels through normal opening and closing.
During middle ear tube placement surgery, some of the fluid in the tympanic cavity is suctioned out, which in turn promotes middle ear ventilation and drainage and relieves the negative pressure in the middle ear, reduces the irritation of the negative pressure in the middle ear on the mucous membrane of the Eustachian tube, aids in accelerating the recovery of the Eustachian tube function, and reduces mucous membrane edema in the tympanic mucous membrane due to the fluid and the infiltration of inflammatory factors.
Mucus excretion in secretory otitis media follows the effect of gravity and the physiological drainage pattern within the tympanic chamber, and it is normal that a small amount of fluid is not discharged from the tube placement, while a large amount of fluid will flow out of this artificial channel.
If there is any discomfort after tube placement for otitis media, you can actively consult a doctor for a systematic examination to determine the cause of the disease and then follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
