Women often cross their legs or cause four major hazards

4 major hazards of women crossing their legs (1)

1. Crossing your legs can easily cause vaginitis and aggravate dysmenorrhea

When women cross their legs, the local temperature will rise, forming a warm and humid environment in the perineum, which can cause pathogenic bacteria to multiply and cause vulvitis or vaginitis. Crossing your legs for a long time can easily cause poor blood circulation in the pelvic cavity and cause inflammation of the adnexa. If pathogens ascend and spread through the reproductive tract, it may affect the entire pelvic cavity. In addition, for those with a history of dysmenorrhea, crossing their legs for a long time may aggravate the dysmenorrhea.

2. Causes spinal deformation

A normal spine is straight and appears S-shaped when viewed from the side. However, crossing your legs for a long time will cause the spine to become C-shaped. The spine will be severely compressed and deformed due to uneven force. In severe cases, lumbar disc herniation may occur. Although crossing your legs will not cause you to develop any disease immediately, if you continue doing this for a long time, many symptoms will appear in your old age, such as osteoarthritis.

3. Cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and heart

Crossing your legs for a long time will prevent blood from flowing smoothly up and down. Slow blood circulation will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and heart, making the body prone to high blood pressure, heart disease and other phenomena.

The harm of crossing your legs has always been very great. It will not only affect your physical health and cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, but it will also easily cause spinal deformity, especially the physiological aspect of the urinary system will also be affected. As for women crossing their legs, it is very harmful, so it is recommended that friends do not imitate it in daily life.
