Jingchu Network (Hubei ** Network) News (Reporter Lin Lin Correspondent Ma Yaoyao) As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but a 9-year-old boy in Wuxue, Hubei Province has been troubled by tears for many years, and his left eye often tears involuntarily. Recently, the parents brought their children to the ophthalmology department of Yangchunhu Campus of Wuhan Central Hospital, and after examination, they were diagnosed with chronic dacryocystitis of the left eye. Finally, the doctor bid farewell to the "tearful childhood" through nasal endoscopic dacryocyst-nasal anastomosis.

Nine-year-old Jun Jun (pseudonym), who lives in Wuxue, began to cry in his left eye when he was born, and he was diagnosed with congenital lacrimal duct obstruction at a local hospital when he was half a year old. At that time, after receiving the tear duct exploration**, the situation of Junjun's tears was alleviated, and his parents didn't pay much attention to it. But as Junjun grows up day by day, he still often sheds tears, and his family thinks that the child is timid. After going to school, when he saw the army who often shed tears, the teacher often encouraged him to be a strong "little man". Until a year ago, when the army began to cry, it was accompanied by a large amount of purulent discharge. During this period, my parents kept taking the army to and from the hospital to do tear duct irrigation and eye drops, but the condition has been repeated and has not been effectively resolved. A week ago, my parents took Junjun to the ophthalmology department of Wuhan Central Hospital Yangchunhu Campus for consultation.
After examination, the doctor diagnosed Junjun with chronic dacryocystitis in his left eye. On February 26, under the escort of the Department of Anesthesiology in the operating room, Deputy Chief Physician Huang Qing of the Department of Ophthalmology carried out a minimally invasive left nasal endoscopic dacryocystic nasal anastomosis for the military army, and made a small hole in the military army's nose through the nasal endoscope to anastomoses the lacrimal sac and nasal mucosa, which not only achieved no scar on the face, but also preserved the lacrimal sac function. The day after the operation, the purulent discharge in Junjun's left eye disappeared.
Xiang Yi, director of the Department of Ophthalmology of Wuhan Central Hospital, introduced that chronic dacryocystitis is a common disease in ophthalmology, caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction or stenosis, and is commonly found in trachoma, lacrimal trauma, rhinitis, nasal septum deviation, nasal polyps, inferior turbinate hypertrophy and other obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, resulting in tears can not be discharged, long-term retention in the lacrimal sac, where bacteria in the tears breed, stimulate the lacrimal sac wall, and cause chronic inflammation of the lacrimal sac mucosa.
On February 28, experts reminded that if the diagnosis of dacryocystitis is necessary to be early, delaying will not only delay the opportunity, but also lead to aggravation of the condition. To prevent chronic dacryocystitis, the first thing to do is to keep your eyes clean and hygienic and not to rub your eyes with dirty hands or handkerchiefs. Secondly, actively ** external eye inflammation such as trachoma, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, etc., so as not to allow bacteria to take advantage of it. If there is a situation of tears in the wind, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check out**, and in time**.
