Crossing your legs may increase your risk of vaginitis

Do you sit in the office for a long time without paying attention to the correct sitting posture? Do you often cross your legs? Female friends need to have a correct understanding of "crossing your legs".

Miss Ding has been feeling discomfort in her waist lately, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, and urgency. Her boyfriend accompanied her to several hospitals for examinations and consultations, but nothing abnormal was found. The doctor prescribed some topical and oral medications for her waist pain and told her to rest at home for a while, but her condition worsened. Later, she met an old expert who carefully asked about Miss Ding's living habits and initially diagnosed her symptoms as vaginitis caused by long-term "crossing legs".

Crossing the legs of women can also cause local temperature to rise, forming a warm and humid environment in the perineum, which can cause pathogenic bacteria to multiply in large numbers, thus causing vulvitis or vaginitis; crossing the legs for a long time can also easily cause poor blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, causing inflammation of the appendages. If the pathogens spread through the reproductive tract, it may affect the entire pelvic cavity. In addition, for those with a history of dysmenorrhea, crossing the legs for a long time may aggravate dysmenorrhea. Moreover, crossing the legs for a long time can also cause low back pain, varicose veins in the legs and other hazards.
