Tympanic membrane perforations are relatively common in clinical practice and usually occur under the influence of external forces. The tympanic membrane has a strong ability to repair, and a small perforation will normally heal on its own in about 3-4 weeks. During this period, you must also be careful not to get water in the external ear canal, not to bathe or swim, and not to use ear drops to reduce inflammation in the external ear canal. If the patient has pain, oral antibiotics can be taken. If the patient has a large tympanic membrane perforation and it takes 2-3 months, if the perforation still does not grow well, or even if there is hearing loss or tinnitus, such a patient can be clinically considered for inpatient surgery with general anesthesia. However, before the surgery, the patient must be examined to determine if he or she is suitable for tympanic membrane repair surgery. There are also certain risks associated with the surgery, so patients must consider it carefully.
