Alanya / Antalya Varicose Vein Treatment Clinic

Do I have to wear compression stockings?

One of the recommended treatments for varicose veins is the use of compression stockings or support stockings. However, this may not be the same for every patient. Compression stockings can help the blood accumulated in the legs to return to the heart more effectively, which can relieve the symptoms of varicose veins.

Compression stockings can provide the following advantages:

Increasing blood circulation: Compression stockings can increase circulation in the legs and reduce the dilation and swelling of the veins.
Reducing swelling and pain: Compression socks can reduce pain and swelling of the legs.
Supporting vascular system: Compression stockings can promote a better blood flow by supporting the structure of the veins.

However, wearing compression stockings is not always mandatory. This may vary depending on the patient's condition and symptoms. A health professional will decide whether or not to recommend compression stockings after assessing the patient's condition. It is also important to determine the correct size and pressure level when choosing compression stockings.

It is important to discuss recommendations and decisions about wearing compression stockings with your doctor to create a treatment plan that suits your individual situation.
