Ear piercing is a very common thing for many people, and many women have had ear piercing before or during pregnancy. However, the person we are going to talk about today has a unique experience.
The protagonist of the story is an expectant mother named Xiaofang (pseudonym). Xiao Fang is a fashionable and lively young woman, wearing a variety of beautiful earrings on her ears is her signature, so she has always paid special attention to the maintenance of her piercings.
Since Xiaofang became pregnant, she gave up using some chemicals for the health of her baby and replaced them with natural skin care and health products. Little did she know, however, that piercing could also be problematic during pregnancy.
In the early stages of her pregnancy, Fang continued to wear her favorite earrings and regularly cleaned and maintained her pierced ears. However, one day in her fifth month of pregnancy, she suddenly noticed a slightly raised redness and swelling in her right ear piercing, and it felt obviously wrong.
At first, she thought it was just a temporary allergic reaction, so she immediately stopped wearing the earrings and treated them with some mild skin care products. However, instead of improving, things have gotten worse.
As time passed, Xiaofang noticed that the redness and swelling on the piercing area became more and more obvious, and scar-like lines appeared on the surface. Not only that, but she also felt a sensation of pain and itching, adding to her pregnancy worries and anxiety.
Xiao Fang quickly sought the help of a doctor and was surprised to find that she was suffering from pierced scar growth. The doctor explained that even if the ear piercing is fine for a long time, hormonal changes during pregnancy may cause the skin to become more responsive to external stimuli, which can trigger the formation of scar tissue.
And for those who have a scarring constitution themselves, such problems are more likely to occur. Xiaofang is not a scar constitution, so she has never encountered such a situation before, but she encountered this problem during pregnancy.
The doctor warned Xiaofang that if not treated in time, the growth of pierced scars may persist and cause problems for wearing earrings again in the future. Therefore, for the safety of the mother and child, Xiaofang decided to undergo the excision of the pierced scar.
Xiaofang underwent a simple but quick operation, and the doctor helped her completely remove the scar tissue from the piercing. After the surgery, she needs to keep a close eye on the healing of the wound and avoid wearing earrings for the time being.
Although for Xiaofang, the removal of the scar brings a trace of regret, but for the sake of the baby and her own health, she thinks it is a worthwhile choice. After all, she didn't want to face the same problem again in the future.
Xiaofang's story reminds us that even seemingly trivial things like ear piercing during pregnancy have certain risks. I hope you can pay enough attention to it, and reasonably protect the health of yourself and your baby, choose carefully before getting your ears pierced, and carefully maintain your ears to avoid unnecessary trouble!
