Doctor named the main dangers of tight underwear and socks

Wearing tight socks may increase the risk of circulatory problems in the legs, and tight waistbands of pants pressing on the stomach can lead to digestive issues.

This was reported by Vyacheslav Petrovich Artishchev, an assistant at the Department of Morphology at the Institute of Anatomy and Morphology of Pirogov University, reports BAKU.WS with reference to "Gazeta.Ru".

According to the expert, when choosing clothes and underwear, it is important to pay attention to any discomfort or pressure.

Artishchev noted that tight socks and tight shoes increase the risk of circulatory problems in the legs. In such cases, numbness, tingling, or a feeling of cold in the extremities may occur. He also emphasized the importance of careful selection of pants.

The specialist explained that tight pants or jeans with a tight belt can put pressure on the abdomen, creating strain on the digestive organs.

In addition, the doctor reported that tight underwear that compresses the thighs or waist can cause blood flow disruption and swelling in both men and women. For the latter, it is especially important to properly select a bra.

"A bra that is too tight not only causes skin irritation and compresses blood vessels, but also leads to muscle strain in the back and reduced mobility," the specialist noted.
