For example, the "urine leakage" disease with a high incidence of postpartum women, that is, the problem of urine dripping caused by coughing, laughing and even running, you may think that this has something to do with fertility, but African women have many births without this embarrassment, why? Just because Chinese women are not muscular and powerful physiques, in addition to being prone to "urine leakage", they are also prone to hanging hips and flat chests, which are all caused by lack of temper.
