Aural Polyps
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Aural polyps are benign growths of tissue that form inside the ear canal or the middle ear, often associated with chronic inflammation or infection of the ear.
Common symptoms:
- persistent ear discharge, sometimes with a bad odor
- a feeling of a plugged ear or decreased hearing
- discomfort, itching, or slight bleeding in the canal
Common causes: they are usually related to recurrent chronic otitis or to prolonged irritation of the skin lining the ear canal.
Which specialist evaluates it? the otolaryngologist is the right one to examine the ear and determine the origin of the polyp; when the skin is involved, the dermatologist can collaborate, and in children the pediatrician guides the first visit. If you notice discharge that does not improve or changes in hearing, the prudent thing is to have it reviewed by a professional.
