Domande Frequenti di Medicina Subacquea

There are no clinical trials or data on the IUD, however I do not see any particular contraindications with regard to its use while diving. As a rule, if no side effects or a documented greater individual risk of thrombotic events are present (but this would also affect the prescription of the contraceptive), also the use of oral contraceptives does not have any contraindications connected to diving. This said, the practice of choosing more conservative dive profiles is strongly advised (dives without decompression stops, no more than two dives a day, maximum depth within 30 meters, bottom time within 70-75% of the maximum limit, possible use of Nitrox with dive times calculated for air).

En general, se recomienda esperar al menos 3 semanas para recuperarse del «trauma» del parto y los cambios hormonales. Durante los primeros meses, recomendamos permanecer dentro de los límites de las «inmersiones sin descompresión», es decir, inmersiones que no requieren paradas de descompresión obligatorias; después de todo, no se deben subestimar los cambios corporales inducidos por estos 9 meses de embarazo. Solo puede producirse una desventaja durante la lactancia: la presión que ejerce el traje de buceo sobre el pecho y los senos podría (en algunos casos) reducir la producción de leche (es una técnica conocida para las mujeres que desean dejar de amamantar, llevar ropa ajustada o vendajes alrededor del pecho).

In general, it is recommended to wait at least 3 weeks to recover from the “trauma” of childbirth and hormonal changesIn the first few months, we recommend to stay within the limits of “no-deco dives”, i.e. dives which don’t have mandatory decompression stops – after all, the bodily changes induced by these 9 months of pregnancy should not be underestimated. Only one disadvantage may occur when breastfeeding: the pressure exerted by the dive suit on the chest and on the breasts could (in some cases) reduce milk production (it is a known technique for woman who want to stop breastfeeding, to wear tight clothes or bandages around the chest).
