Domande Frequenti di Medicina Subacquea

[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column el_class=”page-text”][vc_column_text]Premenstrual Syndrome, or PMS, is a group of poorly understood and poorly defined psychophysiological symptoms experienced by many women (25-50 percent of women) at the end of the menstrual cycle, just prior to the menstrual flow. PMS symptoms include mood swings, irritability, decreased mental alertness, tension, fatigue, depression, headaches, bloating, swelling, breast tenderness, joint pain and food cravings. Severe premenstrual syndrome has been found to exacerbate underlying emotional disorders. Although progesterone is used in some cases, no consistent, simple treatments are available.

FITNESS AND DIVING ISSUES

Research has shown that accidents in general are more common among women during PMS. If women suffer from premenstrual syndrome, it may be wise to dive conservatively during this time. There is no scientific evidence, however, that they are more susceptible to decompression illness or dive injuries/accidents. Also, individuals with evidence of depression or antisocial tendencies should be evaluated for their fitness to participate in diving: they may pose a risk to themselves or a dive buddy.

Zu den PMS-Symptomen gehören Stimmungsschwankungen, Reizbarkeit, verminderte geistige Wachheit, Anspannung, Müdigkeit, Depressionen, Kopfschmerzen, Blähungen, Schwellungen, Brustspannen, Gelenkschmerzen und Heißhungerattacken. Es wurde festgestellt, dass ein schweres prämenstruelles Syndrom zugrundeliegende emotionale Störungen verschlimmert. Obwohl in einigen Fällen Progesteron eingesetzt wird, gibt es keine einheitlichen, einfachen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten.

FITNESS- UND TAUCHFRAGEN

Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass Frauen während des prämenstruellen Syndroms häufiger Unfälle haben. Wenn Frauen unter dem prämenstruellen Syndrom leiden, kann es ratsam sein, in dieser Zeit nur vorsichtig zu tauchen. Es gibt jedoch keine wissenschaftlichen Belege dafür, dass sie anfälliger für Dekompressionskrankheiten oder Tauchverletzungen/-unfälle sind. Auch Personen mit Anzeichen von Depressionen oder antisozialen Tendenzen sollten auf ihre Eignung zur Teilnahme am Tauchen untersucht werden: Sie können ein Risiko für sich selbst oder einen Tauchpartner darstellen.

Les symptômes du SPM comprennent des sautes d’humeur, de l’irritabilité, une baisse de la vigilance mentale, de la tension, de la fatigue, de la dépression, des maux de tête, des ballonnements, des gonflements, une sensibilité des seins, des douleurs articulaires et des fringales. Il a été démontré que le syndrome prémenstruel sévère exacerbe les troubles émotionnels sous-jacents. Bien que la progestérone soit utilisée dans certains cas, il n’existe aucun traitement simple et cohérent.

PROBLÈMES DE CONDITION PHYSIQUE ET DE PLONGÉE

Des recherches ont montré que les accidents en général sont plus fréquents chez les femmes pendant le SPM. Si les femmes souffrent du syndrome prémenstruel, il peut être prudent de plonger avec prudence pendant cette période. Il n’existe toutefois aucune preuve scientifique indiquant qu’elles sont plus susceptibles de souffrir du mal de décompression ou d’accidents de plongée. De plus, les personnes présentant des signes de dépression ou des tendances antisociales doivent faire l’objet d’une évaluation afin de déterminer si elles sont aptes à pratiquer la plongée : elles peuvent en effet présenter un risque pour elles-mêmes ou pour leur binôme de plongée.
