The harm of women crossing their legs

What are the dangers of women crossing their legs? In daily life, we often see people crossing their legs, among whom there are both men and women. Many people may think that crossing their legs will make them feel comfortable and even look imposing sometimes. But do you know that this idea is completely wrong? I originally thought it was a lie, but a female colleague in the company who often crossed her legs was diagnosed with vaginitis. She didn't believe it because she felt that she paid special attention to her hygiene. The doctor explained to her that this was because she often crossed her legs. This incident brought a lot of inspiration to us girls. In order to understand the issue of crossing legs, we consulted relevant people and finally came to the following conclusion. Now let’s talk about the specific dangers of women crossing their legs.

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.

4. Crossing your legs causes back pain

According to experts, low back pain is the most common disease among female office workers who sit for long periods of time. Because they like to cross their legs at work, it is very easy to cause uneven pressure distribution between the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, causing spinal deformation, some of which will lead to lumbar disc herniation and chronic low back pain. Some experts believe that frequently crossing your legs is one of the important reasons that aggravate cervical spondylosis and lumbar muscle strain. At the same time, experts especially remind that female office workers should pay attention to their sitting posture when sitting for a long time, as "crossing their legs" can cause many related diseases.

The above are the dangers of women crossing their legs. Although these dangers are the consequences of long-term accumulation, as women get older, the harm caused by crossing their legs becomes more obvious. So in daily life, you must always remind yourself not to cross your legs. If possible, you can also ask your friends around you to supervise each other. Only in this way can you correct your bad habit of crossing your legs and protect your health.
