Female
hormone can possibly be the most important causative factor in bunion
development is because bunion/ hallux valgus is a soft tissue problem of
ligament loosening and female hormones is responsible for looser female joints
than male's and loosening of pelvic ring for easier delivering of babies.
Interestingly, some women did notice their bunion deformity had become worse
during and soon after their pregnancies.
In
summary, bunion is mainly a female condition relating to their female hormone
and often compounded by heredity. Although high-heel shoes are not the main
cause of ligament failure in bunion feet, they can probably precipitate earlier
onset and accelerate progression of a bunion-prone foot due to genetic factor.
Avoiding high heels may help prevent unnecessary aggravation but not
necessarily its progressive nature. If a woman has no family history of bunion
deformity, there is still certain risk in wearing high heels for many years.
