Six major problems caused by wearing leggings frequently

Leggings are beautiful, but you should be careful about the health hazards behind the beauty, especially some "three-no" products that do not meet the quality standards, which are often breeding grounds for skin diseases and gynecological diseases. Furthermore, if you only wear leggings in autumn and winter and do not pay attention to keeping warm, you may suffer from frostbite or even arthritis.

Leggings can easily cause skin itching

In autumn and winter, the climate is dry and the skin will also be affected. Relatively dry skin's ability to resist adverse external influences will be relatively weakened, and it is easy to cause skin itching due to external objects.

Leggings are relatively tight and close-fitting, which will increase friction and pressure on the skin. In addition, the skin itself has poor resistance. Under the stimulation of continuous pressure and friction, it will cause skin itching. If you repeatedly scratch to relieve the itching, it will easily lead to skin inflammation. Especially some leggings of poor quality, if worn close to the skin, may irritate the skin and cause skin allergies.

Wearing only leggings causes frostbite

Frostbite often occurs on the extremities and exposed parts of the limbs, such as fingers, toes, ears, and nose tip. Now, leggings that wrap your legs tightly will also increase your chances of getting frostbite.

Women love beauty and often only wear one pair of leggings. Even in winter, they will at most choose a pair of fleece-lined and thickened leggings. Leggings are too thin for winter and are too tight, which is not conducive to blood circulation in the legs and will cause insufficient blood return, which is particularly prone to frostbite in a cold and humid environment. For people who are prone to frostbite, leggings may even aggravate frostbite.

Beware of cold panniculitis

The lipid membrane in the subcutaneous fat layer is stimulated when the weather is cold, which can cause the blood vessels in the fat layer to contract, leading to degeneration and necrosis of fat cells due to ischemia. The reason for this phenomenon, in addition to being related to the body's own resistance, is also related to the patient's bad dressing habits. One of the reasons is that women like to wear non-warm leggings in cold weather. Especially those women with poor peripheral circulation, obesity, abundant subcutaneous fat and inactivity are more likely to suffer from cold sebaceous membrane inflammation.

Cold sebaceous membrane inflammation manifests as clearly defined subcutaneous nodules or plaques with reduced surface temperature, bluish-red or bluish-purple color, and a hard texture. It may be accompanied by mild itching and pain, and in severe cases, ulceration may occur.

Leggings may cause vaginitis

Wearing leggings that are too tight and too close to the body will undoubtedly provide a favorable living environment for a large number of bacteria, especially the fragile female private parts, which are most susceptible to invasion by pathogens. Some leggings made of fiber materials are the culprit of vaginitis.

The weather is cold in autumn and winter, and leggings are often worn all day long, tightly wrapping the private parts for a long time, which is most suitable for the reproduction of anaerobic bacteria, which leads to inflammation. When the female private parts are invaded by bacteria, their self-cleaning function will be affected, causing the acid-base balance to be destroyed. Pathogens will take the opportunity to invade and cause vaginal inflammation. In addition, wearing leggings for a long time may also cause women to experience problems such as increased vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, urinary tract infection, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Varicose veins leggings cause trouble

If you wear leggings for a long time, you will find that there are more blue veins on your legs. The veins in the legs are prominent and varicose, which is painless and itchy at first; then symptoms of congestive dermatitis appear, which is often mistaken for a skin disease; as time goes by, earthworm-like veins appear on the legs, and there is a tingling sensation, and in severe cases, symptoms such as skin ulcers may occur.

The incidence of varicose veins in women is higher than that in men, which is not unrelated to the fact that women like to wear leggings. Tight pants are the same width across the entire leg, and the buttocks and hips are often too tight. Blood in the lower limbs cannot flow smoothly to the heart, and is deposited in the veins, seriously affecting blood circulation. In addition, wearing long boots frequently can also lead to varicose veins in the lower limbs.

Knee swelling and redness, beware of arthritis

The weather is cold in autumn and winter, and leggings are not enough to fight the lethality of cold air. If you do not keep your knees and legs warm, your knees are prone to redness, swelling and pain, which can cause arthritis. This is especially true in the south where it is cold and damp in winter, and rainy days are more likely to cause arthritis.

The knees are made of skin and bones and lack muscle coverage. Their temperature is lower than other parts of the body and they are more likely to develop or aggravate arthritis after being stimulated by cold. Even if you wear thermal pants, it is best to wear a knee pad to protect your knees. Leggings are too thin and light to keep you warm. In addition, sitting will cause the knees to be tight, making the part covering the knees thinner, making your knees more vulnerable to damage.
