Skin-tight beyond all measure: the skinny jeans, as the name suggests, they are so tight that they form a second skin. They wrap and squeeze and have become the favorite item of clothing for fashion victims. But be careful, if you are a fan of tight-fitting trousers, know that you could run into serious problems. In some cases, in fact, they can seriously damage muscles e nerves.
Sul Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry A case was described by Australian doctors from the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Department of Medicine.
Here one 35 year old woman she would have been hospitalized with serious leg problems, which, according to the doctors, would have been caused precisely by the constricting effect of the tight jeans in which she had moved while being, among other things, curled up for a long time.
At the end of the day, the XNUMX-year-old could no longer walk, and not only because of the accumulated fatigue. Once hospitalized, in fact, she came out of her that she had developed a condition defined "compartment syndrome“: Tissue pressure increases and blood perfusion decreases. For this reason the blood does not circulate well or get where it should. This state provokes swelling of the muscles, with pain and swelling of the affected parts. In short, the woman was given a drip and only after four days she started walking again without help.
In the past, skinny jeans were already ended up in the spotlight, guilty of the fact that they can cause serious damage to the nervous system of the lower limbs and the so-called "paresthetic meralgia“, Or the compression of the nerve that provides sensitivity to the skin surface of the thigh. A disorder that occurs when one of the nerves that runs in the outer part of the thigh is compressed and this type of jeans significantly increases the risk of running into this pathology.
And not only. Fashion victims should not underestimate other symptoms if they have to wear a pair of enveloping denim for a long time: tingling, numbness, pain in the thighs, burning. But also bladder infections, dermatitis and blood clots, all caused by the constant pressure of that garment on the skin.
In short, go back to being elegant women in a skirt and limit the use of super-tight jeans to a few hours and sporadically. It is about your femininity and your health!
