Can Pregnant Women Wear High-Heeled Shoes After Delivery?

During pregnancy, most women abandon high heels in order to protect their fetuses.

After birth, can we regain the long goodbye?

Experts say that postpartum does not mean that the body is restored to the same condition as before birth. It is best to wear high-heeled shoes only after one year of postpartum.

Postpartum ligament recovery is not so fast.

After pregnancy, women wear high heels more than the average person.

During pregnancy, changes in estrogen and progestin levels and endocrine changes will increase the collagen breakdown of the ligament, reduce the collagen content of the ligament, and make the collagen fibers sparse. Accordingly, the ligaments of the pelvis and other joints will become loose and ready for delivery.

"Usually 3 weeks after delivery, the hormone level of the human body will return to a normal level, but this does not mean that the human ligament is restored to its normal level."

These ligaments should be completely restored or restored to a completely normal level, at least from March to 1 years.

That is to say, after 3 months to one year postpartum, there is a big difference between individuals, and the ligaments of the female foot, pelvis and waist are in a relatively relaxed state.

Too early to wear high heels and waist and leg involvement.

Postpartum women wear high-heeled shoes too early, which will cause certain health challenges to the sports system such as joint ligaments and tendons.

When you wear high heels, you need 60% feet of weight to support your feet. As time passes, it is easy to have metatarsal pain, hallux valgus and ankle sprain. Similarly, after wearing high heels, the pelvis forward and the gravity line moves forward. In order to maintain stability, it is necessary to re-establish the balance of chest, buttocks, waist and back extension.

Due to excessive lumbar extension, the lumbar muscles contracted tightly, the joint capsule was in a state of tension, lumbar back muscles, joint capsule and small joints were prone to strain, resulting in low back pain.

In addition, long term knee walking is prone to symptoms of anterior knee pain and arthritis.

A survey shows that about 50% of pregnant women will suffer from symptoms of lower back and pelvis.

It may increase the strain of the lower lumbar and pelvis tendons and ligaments.

Therefore, it is not recommended to wear high heels regularly for 3 months to one year after delivery. If some occasions have to be worn, it can not exceed two hours a day.

In addition, due to the relaxation of the whole body ligament, the heel height should not exceed 4cm, otherwise the chance of ankle sprain will increase greatly.
