Could Increase In Wax In Ears Be Due To Pregnancy?
can pregnancy increase ear wax production?
i am 21 years old 146 lbs 5'3" and i am 9 weeks pregnant. i normally don't have much ear wax buildup, but lately i've got ear wax coming out of my ears (quite literally) and it's driving me nuts. should i consult my pcp or could pregnancy be the culprit?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion pregnancy doesn't have any effect on wax production.It might be dust and pollution.If any fever or discharge from eats and pain in ears kindly see a ENT specialist.Otherwise just clean your ears once weekly.If it is hard put dewax drops 6 drops 3 times daily for 3 to 4 days before cleaning ears.Dont worry.
