Varicose veins occur when blood collects behind the small valves in a personโs 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.

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.
