Can I wear high heels during menstruation?

Women all like to wear high heels, which can not only make women's figures look slimmer, but also increase their beauty. They are a must-have tool for women to go out. However, high heels cause severe wear and tear on people's feet, especially the heels, and can also change the center of gravity of the human body, so women are not allowed to wear high heels in many cases. So, can you wear high heels during menstruation?

1. Many female friends want to wear high heels more during their menstrual period. They believe that walking in high heels can shift the center of gravity of the human body forward, reduce pressure on the fat pad, and help relieve pain. Therefore, wearing high heels can relieve joint pain. In fact, if joint pain is accompanied by obvious edema throughout the body, it may not be menstrual joint pain but may be a harbinger of other diseases. Therefore, doing so may delay treatment. Moreover, no matter how good the quality of high heels is, they will still be more tiring than flat shoes after wearing for a long time.

Women's health experts suggest that from a biomechanical point of view, women should choose high heels no higher than 4 cm. Wearing high heels will not only cause foot deformation but also may cause soft tissue inflammation. Therefore, women should not wear high heels during menstruation and pregnancy.

2. It is not advisable to wear high heels during menstruation, especially for younger girls. This is because young girls around 20 years old are in an imperfect stage of development, their bone structure contains more cartilage, and their bone tissue contains more water and organic matter and less inorganic salts. The bones are soft and easily deformed. Girls wearing high heels too early can cause changes in the shape of their pelvis and feet. The pelvis is an important structure for transmitting gravity in the human body. When wearing flat shoes, the weight of the whole body is borne by the whole foot; when wearing high heels, the weight of the whole body mainly falls on the soles of the feet. This destroys the normal gravity transfer load line, increases the load on the pelvis, and easily causes pelvic stenosis, which brings difficulties to childbirth in adults. Doing so can easily cause pelvic inflammation and gynecological diseases.

What are the disadvantages of wearing high heels during menstruation?

Ladies should not wear high heels that are more than one and a half inches high often, because when wearing high heels, the forefoot is under great pressure, which may cause calluses and corns on the forefoot, and the joints of the big toes may also swell and become chronically inflamed.

Among female patients with low back pain, 70% to 80% are caused by wearing high heels for a long time. Because after putting on high heels, in addition to the pressure on the feet, in order to balance the slightly forward leaning body, the waist will naturally bend backward. In the long run, the muscles, joints and bones of the waist will be under pressure, causing problems such as low back pain and lumbar muscle strain. In severe cases, it can lead to spinal displacement and even sciatica.

According to relevant research data, wearing high-heeled shoes for a long time will put the muscles of the legs, perineum and lower abdomen in a state of tension, affecting the blood circulation in the pelvis and adversely affecting the normal physiological functions of the pelvic sexual organs. Therefore, wearing high-heeled shoes with particularly thin heels for a long time can reduce women's sexual interest.

Some foreign sexologists even believe that wearing high heels is a factor that cannot be ignored in causing female sexual frigidity. However, some sexologists believe that wearing high heels makes women walk more carefully and vigorously, which exercises the sexual muscles of the perineum and can even help treat vaginal relaxation, thus being beneficial to sex life. You can judge and choose what is right and wrong based on your own experience, but given the potential harm of wearing high heels to the body, it is not advisable to wear them if you have varicose veins in the lower limbs, chronic lumbar muscle strain, sprains and dislocations of the feet and ankles, etc.
