Compression Stockings
How do compression stockings work for varicose veins?
Compression stockings work by applying graded pressure to veins in the legs. Thanks to this pressure, blood and other fluids are pushed back up to the upper body. This enhances blood flow and lessens the signs and symptoms of venous issues. Varicose veins, spider veins, and other vein issues can be helped with compression stockings.
Compression stockings improve blood flow and vein function by constricting the veins and muscles in your legs. This can also help to prevent the development of new varicose veins as well as lessen the swelling and inflammation brought on by varicose veins.
You may need to wear compression stockings for some time following vein treatment. If compression stockings are recommended for you, it’s crucial that you diligently follow your doctor’s instructions. Ask your doctor for advice if you’re unsure of which compression stocking is best for you.
Compression stockings help to:
- Reduce swelling in the legs and feet
- Improve blood circulation
- Prevent blood clots in the legs
- Prevent venous hypertension
- Prevent venous ulcers
- Prevent the development of deep vein thrombosis
- Reduce the pain caused by varicose veins
While compression stockings have some incredible potential benefits, Dr Ryan McConnell can assess your condition to determine if this is a suitable management option for you.
