掏耳不当致癌：男子十年习惯酿苦果
广州，3月2日电（蔡敏婕 伍晓丹）年过五旬的周先生，喜欢随手拿起挖耳勺掏耳朵，一天不掏浑身不自在。这习惯持续了将近10年，直到最近，左耳痛、耳流脓让他不得不来医院就诊，才发现耳朵竟然长出了癌。
据周先生回忆，他掏耳朵的习惯已经持续了近十年，每天都要掏好几次。一开始只是觉得耳朵痒，掏了之后会舒服一些。但随着时间的推移，他发现自己的左耳越来越痛，还流出了脓液。
医生检查后发现，周先生的左耳道内长了一个恶性肿瘤，已经侵犯了耳膜和中耳。所幸，经过手术切除，并辅以放化疗，周先生恢复良好。
医生表示，掏耳朵不当是导致周先生患癌的主要原因。掏耳朵时，挖耳勺很容易损伤耳道皮肤，造成感染。长期反复的感染，会诱发耳道上皮细胞发生癌变。
医生提醒，掏耳朵时应使用棉签或软布，动作要轻柔，不要深入耳道。如果耳道内有异物或分泌物，应及时到医院就诊，切勿自行掏挖。
专家建议，平时要注意保持耳道清洁，定期用棉签或软布擦拭外耳道，但不要过深。如果耳道内有异物或分泌物，应及时到医院就诊，切勿自行掏挖。

Improper Ear Cleaning Leads to Cancer: Man’s10-Year Habit Leads to Bitter Consequences
Guangzhou, March 2 (Cai Minjie, Wu Xiaodan) – Mr. Zhou, in his fifties, liked to casually clean his ears with an earpick, feeling uncomfortable if he didn’t do it once a day. This habit continued for nearly10 years until recently when pain and pus in his left ear forced him to seek medical attention, only to discover that he had developed cancer in his ear.
According to Mr. Zhou, he had been cleaning his ears for almost ten years, several times a day. At first, he only felt an itch in his ear and felt more comfortable after cleaning it. However, over time, he noticed that his left ear was becoming increasingly painful and was discharging pus.
After examination, the doctor found a malignant tumor in Mr. Zhou’s left ear canal that had invaded the eardrum and middle ear. Fortunately, after surgicalremoval and subsequent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Mr. Zhou made a good recovery.
The doctor said that improper ear cleaning was the primary cause of Mr. Zhou’s cancer. When cleaning the ear, the earpick can easily damage the skin of the ear canal, causing infection. Prolonged and repeated infection can induce cancerous changes in the epithelial cells of the ear canal.
The doctor reminded people to use cotton swabs or soft cloths when cleaning their ears, and to do so gently without inserting them deeply into the ear canal. If there is a foreign object or discharge in the ear canal, seek medical attention promptly and do not attempt to remove it yourself.
Experts recommend keeping the ear canal clean by regularly wiping the outer ear canal with cotton swabs or soft cloths, but not too deeply. If there is a foreign object or discharge in the ear canal, seek medical attention promptly and do not attempt to remove it yourself.
