Varicose veins are common among adults. Compression therapy is one of the main methods of treating varicose veins using the classical method. Compression stockings will help avoid problems with varicose veins.
Compression stockings
Compression underwear for the treatment and prevention of varicose veins helps reduce pressure on damaged areas of blood vessels, accelerates blood flow to the heart, and reduces pain in patients.
Statistics show that more than 60% of the world’s population suffers from varicose veins. Every second adult is familiar with the feeling of tired and unhealthy legs.
The occurrence of varicose veins
Varicose veins occur when blood cannot flow back from the legs to the heart properly and accumulates in the legs. First, the elasticity of the vein walls decreases, then the weakened vein causes the venous valve to fail. This leads to abnormal blood flow to the heart, increased local pressure, and further dilation of the veins. Eventually, the superficial bulges of the veins on the body become deformed and create varicose veins.

Risk factors contributing to varicose veins :
genetic factor;

Compression stockings have a beneficial effect on the blood vessels of the legs, and this allows you to avoid the risk of varicose veins, confidently engage in sports, exceed plans at work, travel long distances. For example, to Chernivtsi:)
Healthy legs
Modern compression hosiery provides distributed pressure to improve blood flow. Thus, the amount of pressure from compression tights and socks on the shin will be greater than in the thigh area. In the case of varicose veins, this distribution of compression helps reduce symptoms because:
venous valves increase the speed of blood flow by normalizing their functioning ;
distributed compression stimulates blood flow from the lower extremities to the heart;
the diameter of veins affected by varicose veins is reduced and venous tone is restored.

How does distributed compression work?
Compression stockings provide compression in a distributed manner. The greatest degree of compression is concentrated on the foot and decreases towards the pelvis. Such compression accelerates venous blood circulation, which has a very positive effect on overall blood circulation.
Distributed compression
Sitting or standing for long periods of time does not promote healthy blood flow. Distributed compression stimulates blood flow from the lower extremities to the heart. This helps to significantly reduce the risk of developing varicose veins , as well as other problems such as edema or “heavy legs” syndrome. Due to their shape, the stockings are very comfortable and effective.
It should be remembered that if varicose veins have already occurred or, even worse, thrombophlebitis is suspected to develop against its background, compression stockings will help eliminate its symptoms, but do not provide treatment for the affected vessels. Whether you want it or not, you need to see a doctor.
Compression stockings and knee-highs are also used before surgical interventions , since its effect on the veins is such that its presence simulates a situation when everything is already fine and all problems with varicose veins have disappeared, which allows the doctor to successfully treat the patient without the risk of developing the disease.
Doctor putting compression stockings on a patient
Due to the fact that varicose veins are quite difficult to treat, all phlebologists strongly recommend the preventive wearing of compression stockings and socks for people who are at risk (office workers, transport workers, retail workers, hairdressers, drivers, security guards), as well as everyone who is not younger than 30 years old.
