Shapewear often comes in handy when you need to wear a tight dress, but want to hide your protruding belly or sides.
But in some cases, such underwear can even be dangerous to health.
Gynecologist Ekaterina Volkova spoke about this in more detail, reports Doctor Peter .
According to the doctor, it is not possible to wear such clothes often or for a long time.
She noted that it is safe to wear such things for about 10-12 hours a week, but the underwear must be of the appropriate size.
When a person constantly wears such clothes, the functioning of the respiratory system deteriorates, lymph flow and blood circulation are disrupted.
But these are not all the disadvantages.
As Volkova noted, internal organs are also compressed, back muscles are weakened, and as a result, the spine cannot withstand the load.
In addition, the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, and this increases the risk of pelvic organ prolapse and a host of other problems.
