In December, Baila Steinman noticed for the first time that his leg was slept."She had her numb from the knee to the pelvis, to the point that she was painful," recalls 52 -year -old occupational therapist.

When he visited the neurologist, he asked him if he wore tight clothes or pantimedia with abdomen control.Steinman didn't use this precisely, but he loves wide belts.With that, Dr. Irving Friedman found the problem.According to the doctor, these accessories can compress several nerves, such as the lateral femoral cutaneous, ranging from the abdomen to the outside of the thigh.Friedman says that he often sees the condition, called paesthetic meralgia, in police officers carrying weapons in their hips and ballet dancers who use tight tutús."Anything that exerts pressure on the nerve can cause it," he said."It's very common".Steinman still uses belts, only more comfortable.

Although it may seem a reason for laughs, very tight garments and accessories, too loose or heavy, or very high or flexible shoes can result in health problems. Claro, las tendencias modernas no son tan crueles como el vendaje de los pies en la China antigua o los corsés de la época victoriana, que podían hasta quebrar las costillas de las mujeres o desplazar órganos internos.

Skinny jeans

Using pants as narrow as sticks when it has thick legs can not only cause nerve compression, but can interfere with digestion, as noted by the magazine Archives of Internal Medicine in 1993. The internist Octavio Besta, of Connecticut, wrote thatI saw between 20 and 25 patients a year that suffered from abdominal pain, distension, acidity and belching a few hours after eating."The diagnosis can easily be done in the office when comparing the size of the pants with the circumference of the abdomen. There is usually a discrepancy of 7.5 centimeters or more."The doctor baptized him as the "tight pants syndrome."

Since then, jeans styles have become thinner, and have also been responsible for pain in the lower back, vaginal infections and a condition called semicircular lipoatropha, which causes horizontal lesions to appear around the thighs.

Belts

Reddicting belts or bodys that are very tight or very long can cause compression of nerves and digestive problems, not to mention the pain they produce where the fabric ends and the skin begins.Reducing belts for abdomen can also prevent lungs from being completely infected, which reduces oxygen consumption, causing dizziness.

Do you feel headaches or tingling around the ears, particularly in the office?Very narrow shirts or very tight ties can reduce circulation to the brain and increase intraocular pressure, a risk factor for glaucoma, experts warn.Very tight ties can also decrease the range of movement in the neck and therefore increase muscle tension on the back and shoulders, according to a study between South Korean workers made by the Work publication.

According to a study by Cornell University of 1993, 67% of men buy shirts that are smaller than their necks.And because the ties are not washed so frequently, they can transmit infections.Some hospitals have suggested to prohibit doctors from wearing ties.

Underwear

Experts in this type of garments say that 75% of women use a wrong size of bra.A support that is too large does not offer support, which can cause breast pain and back on the back.One that is very small can cut the circulation.

For their part, fertility experts advise men who want to be parents not to use tight bike shorts, which increases the temperature of the testicles and reduces sperm production.

Shoes

Heels of more than five centimeters have been guilty of bunions, fingers, stress fractures and twisted ankles.Other consequences may be bone protuberances in the back of the heel, nerves between the fingers and the death of bones of the feet due to lack of circulation.After years of using high heels, some women have noticed that the tendons become shorter, which makes them feel uncomfortable in flat shoes.

And very flat shoes also bring problems, especially those that do not have a support arch.The most common is plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the sole of the foot.Channels are worse, as they can cause feet fatigue, muscles pain and alter the way of walking, which can cause more serious long -term problems.And if used too often, leather lining boots are ideal for fungal cultivation.
