A pair of high heels is a must-have accessory in every young girl’s wardrobe. However, there are many health risks associated with these killer heels as well. Distortion in the posture affects each and every system in the body, including the uterus and the reproductive system. A Chennai based gynecologist, Dr Archana S Ayyanathan, said, “Girls who regularly wear high heels, may be subjected to difficulties in giving birth along with elevated pain and other maternal problems. The ligament supporting the uterus gets weakened, and hence the chances of uterovaginal prolapse increases,” she added.
