1. Pointed Shoes or High Heels: A bunion is most likely to develop when susceptible feet are repeatedly squeezed into narrow, pointed-toe footwear. High heels can exacerbate the problem because they tip the body's weight forward, forcing the toes into the front of the shoe. This may help to explain why bunions are 10 times more common in women than in men.
2. Family Inheritance: Some foot types are more prone to bunions than others. Low arches, flat feet, loose joints and tendons, and a too round metatarsal head all increase the risk.
3. Occupational Disease: People in occupations such as teaching and nursing, which involves a lot of standing and walking, are susceptible to bunions. So are ballet dancers, whose feet super severe repetitive stress. Women are more likely to develop bunions and other foot problems.
4. Weight Gain or Excessive Walking: Pregnancy lactation and menopause are the two periods in which the deformity is easily aggravated due to weight gain and systemic ligament relaxation. For youth who are still in the developmental stage, too much burden on the feet may also cause a bunion.
5. Other Foot Diseases: The trauma of the foot, neuromuscular disease, or rheumatoid arthritis may also cause bunions.
