Lacrimal passage probing: a solution to get rid of tears
Many people have suffered from excessive tears, especially in the cold winter. This problem may be caused by obstruction of the lacrimal passage, and probing of the lacrimal passage is an effective method to treat this problem. Guangzhou ophthalmologists provide you with professional services. Next, we will elaborate on the relevant contents of lacrimal passage probing from four aspects.
Principle and process of lacrimal duct probing
The probing of lacrimal passage is a kind of operation to restore its normal function by inserting a slender guide wire into the lacrimal passage and further expanding and clearing the lacrimal passage. Guangzhou ophthalmologists use professional tools to insert the guide wire from the lacrimal point to the end of the lacrimal passage and slowly push it into the nasal cavity. This process can help doctors accurately judge and solve the cause of the disease, clean up the blocked materials, and finally make the tear flow smoothly.
The procedure of probing the lacrimal passage is usually simple and does not require hospitalization. The anesthesiologist will choose local anesthesia or general anesthesia according to the specific situation of the patient. The incision is usually made in the lacrimal point area, and the guide wire is inserted into the lacrimal passage. The doctor will further decide the treatment method according to the position of the guide wire and the blockage, such as expanding the opening of the lacrimal passage or placing an extended catheter.
The postoperative recovery period is short, and patients can often return to normal life quickly. However, we remind patients to avoid strenuous activities and blowing their noses after surgery, so as not to affect the surgical effect.
Indications and risks of lacrimal duct probing
The probing of lacrimal passage is applicable to various diseases caused by lacrimal passage obstruction, whether congenital or acquired. The most common indications include excessive tears caused by blocked lacrimal passages, scleritis, dacryocystitis and conjunctivitis. For these diseases, Guangzhou ophthalmologists have rich experience and can provide safe and effective treatment schemes.
Although probing the lacrimal passage is a common operation, there are still some risks. Hemorrhage, infection and trauma are common complications of surgery. However, these risks can be effectively controlled by selecting professional medical institutions and experienced doctors.
