The impact of high heels on the pelvic region and health
Experts emphasize that wearing high heels alters body balance, creates pressure on the pelvic region, and can trigger the risk of hemorrhoids.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Atıf Tekin, a General Surgery Specialist from Medipol Health Group, issued important warnings that high heels can increase the risk of hemorrhoids by affecting body balance and the pelvic region.
The relationship between foot and gut health
Although they may seem like entirely different areas at first glance, there is a strong relationship between foot structure and gut health that deserves close examination. Experts from Medipol Mega University Hospital state that this situation directly affects health through body mechanics.
Changes in body balance and posture
High-heeled shoes affect not only the feet but the entire body balance, leading to changes in the spine and surrounding tissues. Even a small change in the angle of the sole of the foot creates a chain reaction extending to the upper regions of the body.
Extra pressure formed in the pelvic region
When high heels are worn, the body's center of gravity shifts forward, and to balance this, the lumbar curve increases, causing the pelvic region to tilt forward. This posture change creates extra pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, triggering the process.
Other triggering risk factors
Known factors such as genetic predisposition, a sedentary lifestyle, and a low-fiber diet are among the important elements that accelerate the process. It is stated that high-heeled shoes can further aggravate this existing negative picture.
