The damage to the ear caused by wrestling may result in damage to the auricle, damage to the external auditory canal and perforation of the eardrum.
1. Damage to the auricle: wrestling will cause impact on the auricle, triggering the auricle to become congested and swollen, and in serious cases, it will result in subcutaneous hemorrhage and tearing of the cartilage of the auricle, and other phenomena.
2. Damage to the external auditory canal: the auricle or the external auditory canal is mainly composed of skin and soft tissue and cartilage, and it is easy to scratch or squeeze the skin of the external auditory canal after a fall, which will cause redness, swelling, pain and bleeding and other damages to the external auditory canal.
3. Tympanic membrane perforation: If the head or ear is hit during a fall, it can also lead to damage to the tympanic membrane, triggering bleeding in the ear canal, stuffy pain in the ear, tinnitus and hearing loss and other symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation.
If you experience ear discomfort after a fall, you need to consult an otolaryngologist to determine the cause of the problem and follow the doctor’s instructions.
