Compression required with stockings

Compression garments for varicose veins are an excellent prevention and treatment tool.Don't confuse it with shapewear - these are different products.A special 3D device will help you choose the size of underwear and the degree of compression you need, thanks to which you can not only accurately measure, but also assess the vascular condition of the limbs.

We recommend that you do not purchase and wear compression stockings on your own.Only an experienced phlebologist can professionally determine individual size and adjust the period of wearing underwear.The price of the matter is for a single 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 future mother should know about this.

• The second is adequate physical activity.Walking on air and wearing suitable shoes will help your blood vessels.
• Special fitness is mandatory for pregnant women.The various movements of the foot, rolling from heel to toe do not create any special physical activity but only help the veins.Pregnancy is a period when sofa cushions are especially useful.If you lie down to rest, put your legs on a pillow - blood circulation in the limbs will be more active.
• If you were familiar with varicose veins before pregnancy, see your surgeon for further advice.He will choose compression garments for you and tell you how to wear them properly and for how long.
