Panties and bra now offered with a variety of models, but unfortunately not all underwear models is good for health because some of them would pose a risk.
The experts said the use of panties that are too tight can lead to risks such as cystitis (bladder inflammation), fungal infections and impaired fertility in men.
"Using the tight pants are a fashion faux pas, because it can cause fungal infection of evil," said Dr Geeta Nargurd, consultant gynecologist at St George's University Hospital in London, as quoted Dailymail, Saturday (21/04/2012).
Dr Nargurd warned tights of any style is mainly made of synthetic materials makes it difficult air circulation and humidity conditions that lead to itchy skin and fungal infections.
This infection can make the bacteria enter the body and cause inflammation in the bladder or called cystitis. This is because bacteria thrive in warm, moist environment created by the tight pants.
"Underwear made of nylon and synthetic materials are very bad for your health, even though made of cotton but if used too tight can cause problems," he said.
Dr Nargurd said women with low estrogen levels tend to have a very high risk of infection. This is because the tissue in the area have normal estrogen to keep it healthy and protected from bacteria.
As for men, if in too tight pants can cause infertility and damage to the testes in the scrotum because the temperature will increase and affect sperm production.
The same thing applies in the case of the use of a bra that could increase the risk of pain or pain in your back and shoulders and lead to respiratory problems, especially if wearing a bra that is not appropriate.
"If the bra size that is used not just the weight of the breasts will directly impact on the shoulder and spread to the back," said chiropractor, Rachael Lancaster of Freedom Back Clinics in Leeds.
Lancaster said the bra is too tight will make the spine drawn out that when combined with sitting for long hours can lead to bad posture.
To make sure that always use the underwear with the right size and not too tight so as not to cause disease, although the type or model as it was becoming a trend.
