A politzerization is a medical procedure used to treat disorders of the middle ear, which is responsible for transferring sound to the inner ear. It particularly involves the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and throat. During the procedure, a small amount of air is blown into the nasal passage through a tube while the patient swallows or performs specific actions. This helps balance pressure in the middle ear, which clears blockages in the Eustachian tube and relieves symptoms like ear pain or hearing issues caused by pressure differences. Politzerization is often used as a non-surgical treatment option before considering more traditional procedures for middle ear problems.
