The function of waist binding is to achieve plasticity by compressing the space of abdominal cavity. For the flexible movement of human waist, there are not many bones, which makes it possible to bind the waist. However, judging from the results of waist binding in medieval Europe, waist binding is very harmful to people.

Waist girdling interferes with the normal physiological function of internal organs. For example, it will interfere with abdominal breathing and gastrointestinal function, and affect the discharge of food from the stomach to the intestine. Waist girdling will hinder the blood circulation of the waist, thus affecting the lack of blood supply to the human body and even affecting the development of body length. Over time, it will lead to memory loss and dizziness.

Belts can lead to uterine displacement and severe infertility. It has been pointed out that people who squat down to do things or often cough will increase abdominal pressure, relax the tissues around the uterus, and lead to uterine prolapse, which will adversely affect future fertility. Excessive girdling has hidden dangers of infertility, endometrial prolapse and irregular menstruation. After the adolescent girl girds her waist, the uterus develops slowly or even stops developing due to insufficient blood supply, forming a so-called "naive uterus". In order to restore body shape, some parturients use girdling prematurely after delivery, which causes many complications, which can lead to uterine prolapse, severe uterine contraction and other diseases.
