The most important compression stockings for varicose veins

 compression socks are made of a special elastic material that applies a specific level of pressure to the veins in our legs. The socks are specially sized to fit your legs better than normal socks but are still comfortable enough to wear all day. compression socks help to relieve the symptoms of varicose veins and venous insufficiency.

These varicose veins exhibit abnormal blood pooling, leading to leg discomfort and possible future inflammation. Compression stockings work by applying the right amount of pressure and compression to the varicose veins, forcing the abnormally pooled blood into normal healthy veins, thus improving the blood flow to the veins in our legs.

This compression socks come in many different sizes and strengths. The strength of stockings is measured in millimetres of mercury, just like our blood pressure.

You will also need to use the correct style of compression socks for women, for example thigh high and knee high. The length of the stocking depends on the patient's comfort level, ability to put the stocking on and the severity and location of the venous disease. If you only have mild symptoms and early varicose veins then you will benefit from knee length socks, especially if all your symptoms and varicose veins are only in the calf. If you have more severe symptoms and varicose veins are visible on your thighs and calves, then thigh high stockings may be recommended. At the Varicose Vein Centre, the staff are trained to take the appropriate measurements and to fit your stockings.

When you first start using compression socks men, they may feel a little uncomfortable at first. After a few hours, you should start to notice that your legs feel lighter than they did before you started using the stockings. This is because the blood is returning to your heart rather than pooling in your legs. You may also notice a reduction in other symptoms, such as pain, itching, burning and restlessness in your legs. If your stockings are unbearable, be sure to have your legs re-evaluated and re-measured. It is very likely that the stockings are the wrong size.

With the promotion and effectiveness of compression stockings, compression socks should eventually become comfortable to wear throughout the day and are the first line of defence in the treatment of varicose veins and venous insufficiency.
