The human body never ceases to amaze us with its functioning. It is in fact able to send signals to alert us of a condition or problem through the various organs and areas that compose it. Furthermore, did you know that our ears can tell us a lot about our health?

Earwax with traces of blood

When you insert a cotton swab into your ear and wax containing blood comes out, this indicates the presence of an ear hemorrhage, or blood coming out of the ear. There may be various causes, such as vigorous cleaning, a violent shock, an infection such as an ear infection, or even the presence of a tumor. In all cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor promptly.

Brown earwax

If you notice brown earwax after cleaning your ears, it is likely due to an overproduction of earwax. This means that you feel very tired and that your body is fighting off the invasion of germs and pathogens. Take care of your immune system by eating a varied and balanced diet, exercising regularly, staying hydrated, and sleeping well.

Black earwax

The presence of black earwax usually indicates an overproduction of earwax to fight off invading germs or pathogens. However, if it is accompanied by discharge and itching, it is advisable to consult a doctor as it could be a fungal infection.
