Varicose Veins Stocking
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and often painful veins that can occur in the legs. They can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, pregnancy, and prolonged standing. Compression stockings are a common treatment option for varicose veins as they help to improve circulation and reduce swelling.
Compression stockings are tight-fitting hosiery that apply graduated pressure to the legs, helping to push blood back up towards the heart. They are typically worn throughout the day and should be put on first thing in the morning before any swelling has a chance to occur.
There are different types of compression stockings available, including:
-
Over-the-counter (OTC) stockings: These are widely available and can be purchased at most pharmacies and medical supply stores.
-
Prescription stockings: These are custom-fitted by a healthcare professional to ensure the correct level of compression for your individual needs.
-
Graduated compression stockings: These have the greatest compression at the ankle and gradually decrease up the leg.
It's important to note that compression stockings may have potential risks such as skin irritation and allergic reactions. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment option for your individual needs and goals. It's also important to wear compression stockings for a period of time after the procedure to help prevent the formation of new varicose veins or recurrence.
