Benign paroxysmal vertigo can be categorized into primary and secondary, which may be related to aging, otitis media, and Meniere’s disease.
1. Ageing: With age, hormone levels, calcium metabolism disorders and other factors will cause otolith degradation to accelerate as well as reduce absorption capacity, and also cause otolith stability to decrease, which may cause benign paroxysmal vertigo.
2. Otitis media: Otitis media is a kind of inflammatory lesion that can lead to the involvement of all or part of the middle ear structure, and the more common symptoms are ear pain, ear stuffiness and tinnitus, as well as hearing loss, etc., which may cause benign paroxysmal vertigo.
3. Ménière’s disease: this is an idiopathic inner ear disease, the main clinical symptoms are ear stuffiness, tinnitus, rotational vertigo and fluctuating hearing loss.
Benign paroxysmal vertigo is caused by a variety of factors, when the symptoms seriously affect the normal life, or when the symptoms continue to appear difficult to relieve themselves, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in a timely manner, improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and under the guidance of the physician to receive standardized treatment.
