P: Al bucear, sufro de o\u00eddo de nadador con frecuencia. \u00bfPuedo hacer algo para solucionarlo? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

R:<\/strong> El o\u00eddo de nadador (otitis externa) es una infecci\u00f3n del canal auditivo externo que se produce con frecuencia en buzos y nadadores. La humedad persistente en la piel del canal auditivo produce un cambio alcalino del equilibrio del pH, lo que crea un ambiente propicio para la proliferaci\u00f3n de bacterias. Una serie de bacterias y otros organismos microsc\u00f3picos pueden contaminar el agua donde buceamos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los antibi\u00f3ticos son el tratamiento m\u00e1s com\u00fan para esta afecci\u00f3n, y no se debe bucear ni nadar hasta que se haya completado el tratamiento y los s\u00edntomas hayan desaparecido por completo. Al igual que sucede con muchos trastornos, la prevenci\u00f3n es el mejor tratamiento. Procure mantener sus canales auditivos limpios, secos y libres de restos o acumulaci\u00f3n de cera. No recomendamos limpiar los o\u00eddos con hisopos de algod\u00f3n, que a menudo empujan la cera del o\u00eddo m\u00e1s adentro y pueden causar peque\u00f1as abrasiones, lo que lo puede volver m\u00e1s propenso a las infecciones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puede secarse los o\u00eddos inclinando la cabeza hacia un lado para que la gravedad pueda ayudarlo a drenar sus o\u00eddos o con un ventilador o secador de pelo a baja potencia. Algunas gotas para los o\u00eddos comerciales pueden ayudar, pero una mezcla de partes iguales de vinagre de mesa blanco (no \u00e1cido ac\u00e9tico) y alcohol isoprop\u00edlico o partes iguales de vinagre, alcohol y agua destilada tambi\u00e9n pueden crear un ambiente menos adecuado para la proliferaci\u00f3n de bacterias. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si ninguna de estas medidas conservadoras tiene eficacia, una soluci\u00f3n de \u00e1cido ac\u00e9tico \u00f3tico y acetato de aluminio puede ser otra alternativa, pero requiere una receta m\u00e9dica. Una medida de secado acompa\u00f1ada de una soluci\u00f3n \u00f3tica puede ser lo m\u00e1s conveniente. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> \u00bfPuedo bucear si tengo herpes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

R:<\/strong> El herpes es una infecci\u00f3n com\u00fan \u2014hasta aproximadamente un 80 % de las personas tiene herpes oral, que puede causar llagas o ampollas febriles, y alrededor del 17 % de las personas de 14 a 49 a\u00f1os tiene herpes genital\u2014. Un brote de herpes puede ser doloroso y una fuente de infecci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El dolor asociado al herpes oral puede interferir con su capacidad para sostener un regulador en la boca, y la restricci\u00f3n de un traje de neopreno ce\u00f1ido puede exacerbar el dolor y el malestar del herpes genital. Cualquier restricci\u00f3n en cuanto a la actividad f\u00edsica causada por un brote puede potencialmente poner en riesgo tanto a usted como a su compa\u00f1ero de buceo. El malestar puede obligarlo a finalizar el buceo de manera anticipada, lo que tambi\u00e9n puede afectar a su compa\u00f1ero o grupo de buceo. Cualquier restricci\u00f3n f\u00edsica durante una emergencia o corriente fuerte puede aumentar el riesgo de sufrir una lesi\u00f3n grave. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Todos los cuerpos de agua est\u00e1n llenos de microorganismos, y cualquier corte en la piel proporciona una v\u00eda para que esos microorganismos ingresen al cuerpo y causen una infecci\u00f3n. El buceo en lugares remotos puede ser especialmente preocupante si la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica es limitada o inaccesible. Cuando una infecci\u00f3n no se trata o cuando la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica apropiada se demora considerablemente se puede producir una enfermedad grave o incluso la muerte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En general, el herpes es m\u00e1s contagioso durante siete d\u00edas antes y despu\u00e9s de un brote. El uso compartido de un regulador o el contacto con el equipo y otras superficies durante un brote de herpes activo puede poner a otras personas en riesgo de contraer el virus, por lo que la comunicaci\u00f3n con su compa\u00f1ero de buceo es importante. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si bien el herpes no constituye una contraindicaci\u00f3n absoluta, recomendamos no bucear al experimentar un brote de herpes activo o siempre que no se sienta completamente saludable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
