Compression Stocking Does It Heals Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins occur when blood collects behind the small valves in a person’s veins instead of flowing smoothly back to the heart. Modern compression stockings are more sophisticated and designed to provide consistent pressure in the legs, helping blood to flow back toward the heart. Stockings usually exert more pressure near the ankles and feet, providing an extra squeeze that promotes blood flow.

Compression stockings are mainly used to improve blood circulation, prevent varicose veins from getting worse, and relieve soreness or discomfort of the leg. However, they can not heal the varicose veins disease. Majority of the patients will still need to undergo surgery in the end.

 

Choose carefully if you need to wear it as compression stockings are available in different tightness (pressures) and sizes. It is best to get professional recommendations from a vascular specialist doctor to avoid any side effect due to wrong pressure or sizes selected.
