Can wearing a corset for a long time help you lose weight? What are the side effects of a corset?

Corsets are a kind of fitness and slimming product that many people like to wear. Corsets can tightly bind our waists, keep the waist slender, and make our figures look more slender and graceful.

Wearing a corset during strength training is not allowed. Oxygen intake will increase during exercise. The belt can support the lumbar spine without restricting breathing, while a corset will restrict breathing and easily induce hypoxia. Wearing a corset is only a temporary solution. When wearing it, you will feel your chest and abdomen tightened, but when you take it off, it will return to its original shape in minutes. It will hinder the blood circulation of abdominal organs, affect gastrointestinal motility, reduce digestion and respiratory functions, easily lead to constipation, and induce hemorrhoids, anal fissures and other diseases. It will also affect the blood circulation of the pelvic cavity, easily cause pelvic congestion, and affect normal menstruation. Therefore, healthy weight loss is the most important thing.

Causes uterine displacement. An article pointed out that for people who squat to do things or cough frequently, corsets will increase abdominal pressure, loosen the tissues around the uterus, cause the uterus to move downward and prolapse, and have an adverse effect on future fertility. Excessive corsets will squeeze the abdominal blood vessels and block the return of venous blood in the lower limbs, thus causing varicose veins in the lower limbs, which not only affects the appearance, but also causes a feeling of swelling and numbness in the lower limbs. Once trauma occurs to the lower limbs with varicose veins, the wound heals much slower than that of normal people. The food eaten cannot be completely digested, resulting in indigestion, affecting physical health and limiting the body's ability to absorb nutrients. The compression after corseting prevents the kidneys from functioning normally, causing kidney atrophy. After the kidneys are affected to a certain extent, urination difficulties occur, or natural urination is uncontrolled, causing urinary discomfort and other phenomena.

It will compress the internal organs and squeeze them. Wearing a corset for a long time will affect the blood circulation in the waist, abdomen and pelvis, which will not only cause constipation, but also cause irregular menstruation and make people more susceptible to diseases such as uterine fibroids. The obstruction of blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract caused by corsets can also easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases, such as indigestion and digestive tract dysfunction. In severe cases, it can also cause gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. Over time, due to the disorder of the circulatory system, the endocrine system, digestive system, and nervous system will also be disordered, including the respiratory system and motor system.

It will transfer, but it will not reduce body fat. The direct consequence of corsets is fat drainage. That is, the fat is squeezed to other places to achieve the corset effect. Subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Neither of these can be reduced by corsets, but corsets can push fat up and down, including the abdominal organs. Long-term corsets will eventually show waist indentations. However, corsets cannot change the fat content, and the displacement of organs affects their peristalsis, which may cause diseases, such as constipation, intestinal adhesions, etc., and local blood circulation is also poor. Corsets and body shapers not only tighten the loose fat, but also start from the ribs under the breasts to the stomach. Under this heavy pressure, the flesh on the body becomes firmer and the ribs become smaller.
