If the ear canal is uncovered and can transmit that pressure, the water in the ear canal moves easily in response. A hood that fits snugly against the outer ear can greatly restrict the movement of this water, hampering the diver’s ability to equalise. An easy remedy to this is to insert a finger under the hood near the ear, which will allow the water to move more easily. Another solution some divers choose to implement is to cut a hole from the inside of the hood, near the ear canal, through the inner lining and the neoprene but leaving the outer fabric or covering intact. This hole allows the water to move with little restriction.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Los síntomas del SPM incluyen cambios de humor, irritabilidad, disminución del estado de alerta mental, tensión, fatiga, depresión, dolores de cabeza, hinchazón, sensibilidad en los senos, dolor en las articulaciones y antojos de comida. Se ha descubierto que el síndrome premenstrual grave exacerba los trastornos emocionales subyacentes. Aunque en algunos casos se utiliza progesterona, no existen tratamientos sencillos y consistentes.

PROBLEMAS DE APTITUD FÍSICA Y BUCEO

Las investigaciones han demostrado que los accidentes en general son más frecuentes entre las mujeres durante el síndrome premenstrual. Si las mujeres sufren de síndrome premenstrual, puede ser aconsejable bucear con precaución durante este periodo. Sin embargo, no hay pruebas científicas de que sean más susceptibles a la enfermedad por descompresión o a las lesiones o accidentes de buceo. Además, las personas con signos de depresión o tendencias antisociales deben ser evaluadas para determinar su aptitud para participar en el buceo, ya que pueden suponer un riesgo para sí mismas o para sus compañeros de buceo.
