meralgia paresthetica 感觉异常性股痛

A number of patients in the US have been found suffering from 'meralgia paresthetica', a disorder¹ that causes symptoms of tingling², numbness³ and pain in the upper legs, as a result of their trendy clothing choices, such as skinny jeans.

 

美国有很多病人都因为穿着紧身牛仔裤等流行服饰而患上“感觉异常性股痛”，其症状表现为大腿刺痛、麻木及疼痛，我们可称之为“紧身牛仔裤综合征”。

 

"It's a disorder that occurs when one of the nerves that runs in the outer part of a thigh⁴ gets compressed," said Dr Karen Boyle from the Greater Baltimore Medical Centre in US. Wearing high heels with skinny jeans could worsen the problem as tilting⁵ the pelvis increases the pressure on nerves, she said.

 

美国大巴尔的摩医疗中心的凯伦·博伊尔医生表示，这种症状多发于大腿外侧神经受压迫时。紧身牛仔裤配穿高跟鞋会使症状加重，因为（穿高跟鞋时）骨盆侧倾会增加对神经的压迫。

 

Dr Boyle warned that any tingling sensation caused by their denims should not be ignored as this could lead to more permanent damage.

 

博伊尔医生警示，穿牛仔裤时感觉到的任何刺痛都不应该被忽视，因为这一状况可能导致永久性损伤。
