What does cerumen embolism mean?

Cerumen is a light yellow viscous liquid secreted by cerumen glands. When cerumen accumulates too much in the external ear canal, it can form hard lumps. If it obstructs the ear canal, it is called cerumen embolism. Suggestion: For patients with cerumen embolism, they need to go to the otolaryngology department of the local hospital for treatment and cooperate with the doctor to take it out.
