Bunion’s can be hereditary.
The main causes of bunions are congenital factors such as heredity and acquired factors such as poor lifestyle habits or diseases such as gout. Heredity is common in women and is an abnormality of the foot inherited from the mother’s side of the family. Acquired factors include bad lifestyle habits such as wearing pointy shoes or high heels for a long time and gout in the interphalangeal joints, which cause abnormal stress on the thumb and can lead to bunion deformity.
In terms of treatment, no special treatment can be taken when there is no obvious symptom of bunion, but if there is pain and other symptoms or if it seriously affects walking and other life, it is recommended to have corrective treatment in time.
Bunion is recommended to consult the doctor in time, improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then carry out targeted treatment in a timely manner.
