Compression with socks required

Compression clothing for varicose veins is an excellent preventive and therapeutic tool.Don't confuse it with shapewear - they are different products.Special 3D equipment will help you choose the size of underwear and the necessary level of compression, at which you will not only be accurately measured, but also the condition of the vessels of the limbs will be assessed.

We do not recommend buying and wearing compression stockings on your own.Only an experienced phlebologist can professionally determine the individual size and adjust the duration of wearing underwear.The cost of the question is one consultation.

Pregnancy: you can avoid varicose veins

Pregnancy is a physiological process, but the load on the veins of the lower extremities increases significantly.Every expectant mother should know about this.

• The first thing a woman can do to prevent varicose veins is to adjust her diet as we described above.
• The second is sufficient physical activity.Walking in the fresh air and wearing the right shoes will help your blood vessels.
• Special gymnastics is mandatory for pregnant women.Various movements of the legs, rolling from the heel to the toes do not create a particular physical activity, but they help the veins.Pregnancy is a period during which sofa cushions are especially useful.If you lie down to rest, leave your feet on the pillow - blood circulation in the limbs will be more active.
• If you were familiar with varicose veins before pregnancy, see a phlebologist for further advice.He will choose a compression garment for you and tell you how to wear it correctly and for how long.

Varicose veins and occupation: sedentary and footwork

The majority of occupations today involve sitting in one place for long periods of time.More precisely on the computer.Even if your posture is comfortable and the chair is comfortable, these conditions will not save you from varicose veins.Therefore, follow a few simple preventive rules:

• Never sit cross-legged or cross your legs - blood circulation in the limbs is disturbed.
