Meniere’s disease, or Meniere’s disease, has a certain tendency to heal itself in some cases, but Meniere’s disease attacks are characterized by clear symptoms and an indeterminate period of self-healing, so it is generally recommended to treat the disease aggressively rather than blindly waiting for it to heal itself.
The cause of the disease is not clear. It develops mainly due to the accumulation of water in the labyrinth of the inner eardrum, causing rotational vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Its treatment aims to actively and effectively control symptoms and improve quality of life. The main treatment methods are: general treatment, drug therapy, tympanic injection and surgery.
1. General treatment: low-salt and low-fat diet, avoiding stimulation by external environmental factors, abstaining from smoking and drinking, banning coffee and strong tea, and resting in bed in a dark room.
2. Drug therapy: according to the condition, apply diazepam and other sedative drugs, flunarizine and other anti-vertigo drugs, hydrochlorothiazide and other dehydrating agents, metoclopramide and other antiemetic drugs, betahistine and other tubular dilating drugs, dexamethasone and other glucocorticosteroids, and multivitamins.
3. Tympanic injection: tympanic injection with ototoxic drugs such as gentamicin and streptomycin to destroy the dark cells in the vestibule, reduce the production of endolymphatic fluid, and reduce inner ear edema.
4. Surgery: Usually used in cases where conservative treatment is ineffective and has a great impact on life, endolymphatic sac decompression, semicircular canal tamponade, vestibular nerve amputation and so on can be taken.
When suffering from Meniere’s disease, you need to actively seek medical treatment, do not wait for self-healing.
