Most cases of smelly earwax are caused by ear canal inflammation, chronic suppurative otitis media, cerumen adenocarcinoma of external ear canal and so on.
1. Inflammation of ear canal: If the patient has more ear cerumen, which has not been cleaned up for a long time, and then when he washes his hair, face or takes a bath, water or other dirt enters into the ear, which causes inflammation or swelling of the ear, it may lead to smelly earwax phenomenon.
2. Chronic suppurative otitis media: If the patient suffers from chronic suppurative otitis media, the ear canal will secrete too much pus, which will be cleaned up in time and mixed with the earwax, which will lead to the symptom of smelly earwax.
3. Ceruminous adenocarcinoma of the external ear canal: If there is ceruminous adenocarcinoma of the external ear canal, there are necrotic materials which cause bad smell.
It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
