Earwax removal is a common procedure, but it's important to understand that attempting to remove earwax at home without professional guidance can lead to complications and potential harm. There are several reasons why it's advisable to seek the assistance of a healthcare professional for earwax removal. A healthcare professional can assess the type and amount of earwax present, as well as any other ear-related issues. This allows for a more personalized and effective approach to earwax removal. Also, excessive earwax can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying ear condition. Professionals can identify and address these issues during the removal process.
