If you’ve ever done any serious moving in skinny jeans, you’re probably aware that they can get pretty uncomfortable. (They’re definitely not yoga pants.) You probably didn’t know, however, that tight skinny jeans can also get dangerous.
In a new case study published in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, doctors highlight a 35-year-old woman who arrived at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia. She presented with weakness in both ankles and feet, so much so that she was unable to walk. She also suffered severe swelling below the knees in both legs, so much so that doctors had to cut her jeans off the previous day.
She recalled to doctors that the issues had begun the day before, when she was helping a relative move and spent hours squatting to empty cupboards. She’d been wearing skinny jeans at the time, and remembered they grew increasingly snug and uncomfortable the longer she had them on.
The doctors determined her symptoms were the result of nerve damage in both legs, due to two factors, according to study author Thomas Kimber, MD, a neurologist at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Adelaide.
“It was the combination of squatting and tight jeans that caused the problem,” he tells Yahoo Health. “Squatting would have compressed the peroneal nerves in the lower leg and reduced the blood supply to the calf muscles; the tight jeans meant that, as the calf muscles started to swell in response to the reduced blood supply, they compressed the adjacent tibial nerves and further cut off the blood supply to the muscles.”
This resulted in compartment syndrome, which occurs when there’s increased pressure within one of the body’s “compartments”containing muscles and nerves. The pressure decreases the blood flow that provides key nourishment and oxygen to cells, causing them to swell and further damaging the already-swollen muscles.

You can think about it this way. If the woman had been wearing loose pants or sweats the previous day, Kimber explains, the calf muscles could have swollen “outwards rather than inwards, avoiding pressure on the nerves and blood vessels.” Since there has never been a previous report of squatting alone causing tibial nerve damage or severe calf muscle swelling, the doctors determined skinny jeans were a major contributor.
The fix was prolonged, but simple: the woman was put on an IV drip for four days, before being discharged from the hospital. “This was required, as the muscle damage had caused a condition called rhabdomyolysis — or, severe breakdown of muscle fibers — which might have damaged her kidneys if not treated with IV hydration,” Kimber says.
What’s the lesson here? Kimber says not to squat for any length of time while you’re wearing skinny jeans. If you’re compressing your legs at all in tight pants, don’t ignore discomfort. “If you experience leg discomfort or tingling, you should stand up and walk around,” he says.
This isn’t the first time skinny jeans have been accused of being unhealthy.
Dr. John Michael Li, a neurologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, told CBS Miami that people can suffer from “tight pants syndrome,” or abdominal discomfort, heartburn and belching. They can also cause meralgia paresthetica , or a feeling of numbness running down the leg. And men should be extra careful when donning skinny slacks, as they can bring on testicular torsion , which is where one testicle gets twisted, hampering circulation, causing severe pain, swelling, and — in extreme cases — causing the testicle to die. Ouch!
Ultimately, consider this case a pretty great (and healthy) excuse for wearing boyfriend jeans, yoga pants — and embracing this season’s wide-legged pants trend .

If you’re skinny but your belly sticks out, this article will show you why you have belly fat and how to get rid of it.
The truth is it’s not just overweight people who have belly fat. You can be skinny with a fat belly.
As you’ll see, for some people, the belly sticks out even when they don’t have excess belly fat. Factors like poor posture and bloating can make your stomach look big.
But before we look into why you’re skinny with a belly, here are 5 belly fat myths you should ignore.
Hey, before you continue reading, check this out: A new proven way to lose up to 22 pounds (10kgs) in just 6 weeks without starvation or exercising for hours – click here to see it
Lordosis is an excessive inward curvature of the spine. When the spine curves inwards, it forces the lower belly to stick out.
Lordosis is usually caused by tight hip flexors or weak abdominal muscles. These two problems can be triggered by poor sitting posture or sitting for long hours.
To check if you have lordosis, lie on your back and place your hand under the lower back. You should be able to move your hand under the back with little space left.
If there’s a lot of space left between the lower back and the floor, chances are you have lordosis.
You should also avoid exercises that require you to arch the back.
Note that extreme cases of lordosis may require therapy or surgery.
Bloating can make your belly look bigger than it is.
Common causes of bloating include, lactose intolerance, high sodium intake, drinking carbonated drinks, dehydration, and irritable bowel syndrome.
While it’s normal to be bloated every now and then, being bloated all the time isn’t something you should ignore.
How to fix it: Manage cortisol levels, increase potassium intake, avoid carbonated drinks, drink more water, avoid foods that give you gas, and chew food slowly.
Drinking a lot of alcohol doesn’t just increase calorie intake, it can actually make your belly bigger.
Research shows that people who drink a lot of alcohol gain more belly fat.
What’s more alarming is that people who are skinny but have belly fat have a high risk of diseases, according to research .
How to fix it: Reduce beer intake or drink low-calorie alcoholic drinks.
A skinny fat person is someone who is skinny but carries excess body fat.
Skinny fat men store excess fat in their chest and belly while skinny fat women have excess fat in their waistline, hips, and butt.
People become skinny fat because of excessive cardio, low-calorie intake, high estrogen levels, and not doing strength training.
How to fix it: Do less cardio, do more strength training, regulate estrogen levels and eat fat burning foods .
Slouching does not increase belly fat but it can make your stomach look bigger.
For one thing, slouching weakens the abdominal muscles because it keeps them relaxed all the time. And when the abdominal muscles are weak, the belly will stick out.
Second, slouching squeezes the organs and forces the belly to stick out.
How to fix it: Practice proper sitting posture – avoid slouching while sitting. And use exercises that correct poor posture .
Transversus abdominis are inner abdominal muscles which tightly hold the internal organs.
When these muscles are weak your stomach may stick out and you may even experience back pain.
Strengthening these muscles will wrap the internal organs and make your belly smaller.
But realize that regular ab exercises like crunches and sit-ups don’t target these muscles.
How to fix it: Do exercises that strengthen the transversus abdominis muscles. These exercises include the stomach vacuum, elbow plank, and side plank.
Some of the bacteria in the gut are beneficial while others can be harmful.
There’s evidence showing that an unhealthy balance of gut bacteria can increase stomach fat. Additionally, research shows that gut flora influences where fat is stored in the body.
It’s important to mention that unhealthy gut bacteria have been linked to diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, just to mention a few.
How to fix it: To improve gut health you need to avoid inflammatory foods, eat high-fiber foods , and eat more omega 3s and fermented foods.
The stomach stores two types of fats, subcutaneous fat and visceral fat.
Subcutaneous fat is stored beneath the skin while visceral fat is stored around internal organs.
You may have small amounts of subcutaneous fat but a lot of visceral fat. Not only will this make your belly bigger, but it’ll also increase the risk of diseases.
Research has linked visceral fat to insulin resistance, high blood pressure, heart disease, and type II diabetes.
How to fix it: Do high-intensity exercises, reduce alcohol intake, avoid trans fats, and eat low-calorie foods.
Women usually store fat in the hips, thighs, and buttocks. But their body shape changes after menopause.
You see, when women hit menopause, estrogen levels drop. And these hormonal change forces fat to settle around the belly.
The good news is you can lose post-menopausal belly fat.
How to fix it: Start doing full-body workouts , increase intake of healthy fats , get enough sleep and manage stress.
Cortisol isn’t your enemy. In fact, it is essential for survival. But high cortisol levels can increase stress and expand your waistline.
You probably know that stress triggers overeating. But did you know that cortisol forces the body to store the excess calories in the belly instead of the fat being stored all over the body – see study .
How to fix it: Manage your stress by exercising regularly, walking , meditating, and avoiding toxic relationships.
Genes play a major role in the shape of your body.
Research shows that belly fat is affected by genetics. In this study , researchers found that genes were linked to abdominal obesity and waist-to-hip ratio.
I may also note that people with apple-shaped bodies are more likely to have a belly even though they’re skinny.
How to fix it: You can’t do much about your genetics, just make sure you eat nutrient-dense foods and exercise regularly.
You’ve probably heard that smoking suppresses appetite and promotes weight loss. But did you know that smoking causes excess belly fat?
Researchers at the University of Glasgow found that smoking reduces overall weight but increases waist circumference. And the excess belly fat puts smokers at a higher risk of diabetes.
I hope this article has helped you identify whatever is making your belly stick out. Now, use the tips above to flatten your belly.
Note that regular exercise can help fix most of the problems making your belly stick out. And you don’t even have to exercise for hours. Simply do these intense home workouts for 15 minutes a day .

Pain during sex is a common problem for women.
As many as 75% of women will experience pain during sex at some point, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. For many women, the pain is rare or happens only once, but for others it’s persistent.
"Some women may have experienced sexual joy, but then at some point in their life, it becomes painful," says Dr. Karyn Eilber . "They may stop having sex with their partners. Whether your pain is mild or severe, if it bothers you and it’s inhibiting you from having sex, you should definitely talk to you doctor."
Dr. Eilber and Dr. Alexandra Dubinskaya treat women with sexual dysfunction and study its causes. Here’s what they think women should know about painful sex:
"Like mental health, sexual health can carry a stigma. Mental health is slowly losing that stigma, and sexual health needs to follow that trend. We can look at these things as health conditions and normalize having these conversations as part of our
