무더운 여름, 수영장·워터파크·해수욕장 등에서 시원한 물놀이를 즐기는 사람이 많아지면서, 귀 통증이나 가려움으로 병원을 찾는 환자도 크게 늘고 있다. 건강보험심사평가원의 통계에 따르면, 8월 귀 질환 환자 3명 중 1명이 ‘외이도염’ 때문에 내원하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 활동적이고 물놀이가 잦은 소아와 청년층에게서 외이도염 발병이 흔하다.◇외이도염, 귀 속 피부에 생긴 염증외이도염은 고막 바깥쪽 귓구멍 피부에 염증이 생기는 질환이다. 귀는 외이, 중이, 내이로 구분되며, 외이는 귓바퀴와 외이도로 이뤄져 있다. 외이도는 약 2.5~3.5cm 길이의 S자형 통로로, 귀지와 피지샘, 땀샘이 존재해 항균 작용을 한다. 이 덕분에 세2025.07.15 09:00
당뇨병은 우리 몸이 혈당을 제대로 조절하지 못하는 질환이다. 혈액 속 포도당은 세포에 에너지를 공급하는 연료 역할을 하지만, 인슐린이 부족하거나 제대로 작동하지 않으면 포도당이 혈액에 쌓여 혈당이 높아진다. 이로 인해 눈, 신장, 심장 등 주요 장기와 말초 부위인 발에 합병증이 생길 수 있다.여름철에는 땀을 많이 흘려 탈수가 쉽게 발생하고, 온열질환 위험뿐 아니라 혈당 변화가 심해지기 쉽다. 식욕 감소로 끼니를 거르거나 음식 섭취가 줄면 저혈당 위험이 커지므로, 특히 인슐린이나 당뇨약 복용자는 주의해야 한다.◇운동과 수분 섭취는 필수당뇨 환자에게 적절한 운동은 인슐린 저항성을 낮추고 체중 관리를 돕는다. 다만 가장2025.07.14 16:23
