Chapter 667 (1/2)
Dr. Xiao also frowned, which is not very common.
”Aunt, when do you usually feel dizzy? Do you feel dizzy at other times besides going to bed? What kind of dizziness? ” Asked Guo Xiang.
Wang Chunhua thought, ”there are other times, but you don't feel dizzy sitting here or standing like this.”
”That's...” Wang Chunhua recalled, ”that's when you go to bed, turn over, bow your head, and bend down.”
”The time of dizziness is very short, maybe less than a minute. But it's hard. Sometimes I feel like vomiting... ”
”Yes, sometimes I fall when I don't pay attention. My mother is old and doesn't fall.” Wang Chunhua's son said anxiously.
All three were lost in thought.
Guo Xiang thought about Wang Chunhua's words. When she went to bed, turned over, bowed her head and bent over, there were changes in her movements. She said that she didn't faint when sitting and standing.
That's when you lose your balance.
”I know!” Guo Xiang thought of it.
”What?” Anzehan hurriedly asked, and Dr. Xiao also looked at Guo Xiang.
”It may be otolithiasis!” Guo Xiang said.
”What 'earwax'? I don't have earwax. I pull out my ears regularly, and I haven't heard that earwax can cause dizziness. ” Wang Chunhua said suspiciously.
Guo Xiang smiled, ”aunt, it's not 'earwax', it's' otolith ', the stone of stone.”
”What is' otolith '? There are stones in people's ears? ” Asked Wang Chunhua's son.
”This otolith is an important organ in the ear. Look...” Guo Xiang took a paper pen and drew an ear on the paper. ”This is our ear. What human flesh can see is the outer ear. For example, what is inside the eardrum, the deepest part is the inner ear.”
”The inner ear is not only responsible for our hearing, but also for our balance!” Guo Xiang said as he lit his ear on the paper with a pen: ”once there is a problem with the inner ear, people will feel that they are rotating. Because there's something wrong with the otolith. ”
”The oval sac and air sac of the inner ear have cystic plaques, a layer of otolith membrane on the surface, and many calcium carbonate crystals are otoliths. It is a real stone, born with us at birth. Under normal circumstances, the otolith is attached to the otolith membrane, but it may fall off for some reasons. ”
”These exfoliated otoliths will swim in the liquid called endolymph in the inner ear. When the head position of the human body changes, the position of these semicircular canals will change, and the buried otoliths will move with the flow of liquid, so as to stimulate the hair cells of semicircular canals, resulting in strong vertigo.”
”Is it these otoliths that make aunt feel dizzy?” Anzehan asked in surprise that he really knew very little about this.
Dr. Xiao also looked at Guo Xiang in surprise. Unexpectedly, the intern was so familiar with this. Isn't she a cancer major?
”Well, what about that?” Wang Chunhua's son asked. It was the first time he had heard that there were otoliths in people's ears.
”You should see otolaryngology.” Guo Xiang said, ”you can get rid of dizziness by resetting the otolith.”
”Ear, nose and throat?” Wang Chunhua's son was surprised. The headache had something to do with this.
”Our hospital is a department of facial features. It's on the third floor. You go to the Department of facial features to talk to the doctors there and tell them our views here.” Dr. Xiao said.
”Then, going there can solve my mother's dizziness?” Wang Chunhua's son was pleasantly surprised and finally found the reason. The doctor of Beijing medicine is good at medicine.
”Go, it can be solved.” Guo Xiang smiled.
They thanked again and again and went to the facial features department.
