Hello! Otitis media with perforated eardrum has cases requiring immediate surgery such as otitis media with cholesteatoma because it will destroy bone and worsen the disease, in some cases, it can be monitored, your condition after 1 year is not affected. Inflammation is usually not dangerous and can be monitored. The benefits of tympanic surgery are better hearing and avoiding the risk of infection. After surgery, you can bathe and swim normally to help you have a better quality of life.
You can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System nationwide for a doctor to give you more advice and give you the right treatment.
