Varicose veins are basically the veins that have become torturous and enlarged due to any reason. There are various reasons that may cause varicose veins including pregnancy, standing for long hours, and so on. Whatever be the reason, they are not only painful but also look ugly at times. Compression stockings are the best way to combat these problems. These stockings are also becoming a necessity as an adjunct to all types of treatments available today. Whether it's Sclerotherapy, radio ablation, endoveinous laser, and vein stripping, graduated compression stockings/compression hosiery is used in all of these to provide post-operative support to complement the treatment.
Compression stockings provide support to the lymphatic and venous systems of the legs. The stockings are excellent to cure and prevent the problems in the veins of the legs that include the DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), varicose veins, venous ulceration, after vein surgery, swollen legs, and phlebitis. Those with tired or aching legs, venous insufficiency, Lymphedema, Edema, and burn scars can also use these stockings.
Since graduated compression is applied by these stockings, they are often referred to as graduated compression stocking as well. Maximum pressure is applied at the ankles and it goes on to decrease upwards. The compression in combination with the calf's muscle-pump effect causes the blood in the legs to flow upwards. As a result, the lymph fluids and blood are able to circulate through the legs.
The availability of compression stockings in various colours, styles, sizes and opacities make them look quite similar to the regular socks and hosiery. Therefore, you can wear them just like your regular socks. However, before buying the compression stockings or using them it's advisable that you consult your physician first.
As there are various online medical companies offering a whole range of graduated compression stockings as well as compression garments, you can easily shop for the stockings from the comfort of your home. However, buying from a medical company that abides by the Medical Technology Association of Australia code of conduct would save you from being cheated for fake products that could do more harm than good to you.
