Wearing high heels affect fertility?

High heels are an indispensable fashion item for many women, but wearing high heels regularly is the cause of many diseases that not everyone knows.

Women who regularly wear high heels will cause their back muscles, waist and costal ligaments to loosen, easily causing chronic back pain and pain in the hips, knees and joints.

Harmful effects of high heels

Back-ache: If you wear high heels of 3.3cm or more, the body's gravity will be greatly shifted forward because the body is tilted forward. To maintain balance, the chest and waist must lean back, so the abdomen will protrude forward, and the muscle system that helps maintain the body's straightness will have to contract strongly, causing the muscles to become more tired. Most women who regularly wear high heels will cause the back muscles, waist and the costal ligament system to loosen, easily causing chronic back pain and pain in the hips, knees and joints.

Wearing high heels can easily damage the muscles of the feet.

Toe deformity: When wearing high heels, the center of gravity is focused forward, the toe of the foot will be narrowed at the toe of the shoe, the gravity of the whole body will be concentrated on the toe of the foot, causing the big toe joint and the other four toes to stretch forward to different degrees. Prolonging such a condition can easily deform the toes, of which bunions are typical.

Fertility restriction: By wearing high heels to gain a few centimeters of height, women can reduce their own fertility. Experts in the UK have come to this conclusion after studying the harmful effects of this fashion item on women's health. Accordingly, high heels of about 5cm can also become a threat to ladies who want to become mothers because when worn regularly, the pressure on the front of the foot can cause their pelvis to tilt to one side. This is the cause of menstrual disorders, abdominal pain during menstruation and reduced abdominal functions, thereby reducing the ability to conceive.

How to wear high heels safely

Choose shoes made of breathable material with good elasticity. You should not choose high heels that are too tight or the soles are too pointed, too steep compared to the toe of the shoe because they will not give you a sense of balance and comfort when moving. Even just a small mistake in walking can easily cause you to sprain your ankle. Science has proven that a pair of shoes with a sole height of 2 - 4cm and a diameter of 3 - 5cm is considered the ideal level for you to confidently put your beautiful feet in.

Wear high heels with a back strap to reduce weight transfer to the front. Avoid wearing open-toe high heels.

Minimize the use of high heels over 5cm. Minimize the time spent wearing high heels. Should only be used on special occasions such as: attending parties, meeting partners...

Take advantage of the time sitting in place to exercise the tips of your toes, combined with using massage cream to rub all over your toes to help restore. Use Vaseline to soften the skin.

Exercise your toes regularly by picking up a pencil with your toes. This exercise not only increases blood circulation but also helps your toes become more flexible.
