There is no harm in medicine for women to sit with their legs crossed. At least there is no medical evidence to prove that this sitting posture is harmful to human body.
On the non-medical level, some people may think that it is inappropriate and unsightly for women to sit with their legs crossed. In fact, from a medical point of view, generally moderate crossing one's legs is a state of relaxation of the human body, which makes people relaxed and happy, but is beneficial to physical and mental health.
On the contrary, if women often sit with their legs crossed, it will hinder the blood circulation in their legs and may cause certain harm to the human body, such as varicose veins in their legs and gynecological diseases.
Special reminder: Try to avoid crossing your legs in daily life, avoid keeping your legs in the same posture for a long time, maintain a correct sitting posture, avoid sedentary and exercise more.

It's interesting that you ask such a boring question about the harm of women sitting cross-legged. I'm not a doctor or an expert, but I've also looked up some information, and there's no relevant information showing that women sitting with their legs crossed are harmful to their health. There is still no scientific research showing that this is the case. So far, modern science has proved that women sitting with their legs crossed have little effect on their health.
However, sitting apart like this will have a certain impact in other aspects. First of all, if it was in ancient times, it might lead to the possibility of divorce with his wife.
We know that there were two saints in ancient China, one was Confucius, the most sacred, and the other was Mencius, the most sacred. They are all from Shandong, and Mencius is from Zoucheng, Shandong.
One day, Mencius came back from the outside and walked into the living room. He saw his wife sitting cross-legged. Meng old man in a rage, almost divorced his wife, or said, it's over.
Why is this? The reason is that in the Warring States period of Mencius, women did not wear the clothes inside, and neither did men. So you can't sit with your legs spread out like that.
It's okay at home. It is impolite to sit like this in public. It is precisely because of clothing that before the Han and Tang Dynasties, the sitting posture in ancient China was kneeling, and one of the main reasons was to prevent exposure to the sun.
In modern business communication, women should be dignified and virtuous, so in formal business occasions, women's formal dresses are skirts, not pants. When wearing a skirt, you must put your legs together and your feet on your sides. This is the most standard business etiquette sitting posture. If you sit there with your legs crossed, it feels particularly bad.
From an elegant point of view, women should not sit with their legs crossed. Stretching your legs, this is a very manly state, giving people a very heroic feeling. At all times, women should be dignified and virtuous and try to avoid sitting like this. The harm of sitting like this can only give everyone a feeling that she is too masculine. A dignified and virtuous woman may become a woman because of this sitting posture. Unless you want to wrestle with an old man.
As far as sitting posture is concerned, no matter what sitting posture, you can sit casually as long as you feel comfortable. As long as you don't interfere with others, others have no right to interfere.
But for women, it's still a little hard to say. First of all, sitting with your legs crossed and not talking about the old rules is also detrimental to your female image.
In summer, women wear more skirts. In order to cool off and breathe, some only wear a pair of underwear without leggings, and some even forget to wear them. In this case, if you sit cross-legged, you may walk away carelessly. I have seen this situation many times, but I can't remind you in person. If she is reminded in person, she will be embarrassed. I can only stare and get her attention. If you sit separately against the wind, it is easy to catch cold and cause a cold.
Sitting with pants spread apart, like a figure of eight, although it won't run out, sitting posture will give people an indecent feeling. Especially sitting in front of people will make people feel that your quality is not high, your cultivation is not enough, and you are impolite, and others will feel unnatural.
Although we don't talk about the old rules now, we should at least give people a good image. Sometimes we are too casual, which will damage our image.
