Compression socks for men and women

A very large number of people have been suffering from varicose veins for a long time. The disease is quite unpleasant and sometimes it is fraught with very deplorable consequences that are dangerous to health. An aid in the fight against this disease is the compression fabric, namely the socks made from it. What is it, what are the features, and what is the secret of action, we now consider in more detail.

Socks made of compression hosiery are needed for both prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. Having a tight leg, they help to maintain the walls of blood vessels and normalize blood flow, which reduces puffiness and reduces the risk of the onset and further development of varicose veins. With regular use of such golf, you can keep your legs in a healthy tone without experiencing any problems regarding the unhealthy condition of your veins.

Compression knitwear is a special fabric that is used in the fight or prophylactic procedures for varicose diseases. The disease becomes progressive in its course due to a decrease in the elasticity of the blood vessels of the lower extremities. This is what helps compression knitwear, providing a supporting effect on the outside of the vessels and preventing their further deformation.

The types of golf vary in compression classes, that is, in the strength of the squeezing effect on the foot. There are only three types of compression classes with varying degrees of pressure, which are measured in millimeters of mercury. In addition to the existing designated classes of compression, there are also socks for prophylactic use, which are assigned to people whose legs are subjected to heavy loads throughout the day.

1. The first class of compression - has a pressure of 18 to 22 millimeters of mercury (hereinafter - mm Hg) and is intended for people with the initial symptoms of this disease: the legs become swollen, veins stand out, the appearance of spider veins is observed, as well as pain in the legs after exercise.
2. The second class of compression - has a pressure of 23 to 32 mm Hg and has an appointment with more pronounced symptoms: pain in the calves and feet, the appearance of varicose veins, enlarged veins are observed, seizures with subsequent pain are possible.
3. The third class of compression is characterized by a pressure level of 34 to 46 mm Hg and is used strictly according to a doctor's prescription in cases where symptoms such as the occurrence of thrombosis in the postoperative period are present.

Among the variety of life situations where the legs are subjected to various kinds of loads, it is perfectly reasonable to assume that there are many varieties with distinctive features for each of them. Let us consider in more detail which golf models from compression knitwear are suitable for different situations, and how they differ.

Doctors recommend starting to wear compression socks already from the first months of pregnancy, because the body needs prevention in connection with the subsequent heavy loads on the legs. You should not buy ordinary socks for women, because there are specially designed models of anti-varicose golf for pregnant women. But before purchasing this product should consult a doctor for advice!

People who have any problems with their feet and their puffiness should use compression socks when flying with even the smallest compression class.Since the entire body is very heavy during the flights, and legs are not an exception, compression stockings or socks will help avoid puffiness during the flight, as well as allow you to feel light in the legs after landing.

Such stockings are often used after operations performed on the veins to avoid complications and unwanted edema in the postoperative period. Usually wearing socks in this case it is necessary from two weeks to a month, then a gradual weaning from them is carried out. If your legs are exposed to intense physical exertion every day through hard work or sports, the period of wearing such a golf can last for a very long time.

Zip socks are almost the same as other compression knit golf models. In terms of therapeutic and prophylactic properties, they are in no way inferior to any other type of golf, and their only difference is the zipper, which makes it easier to put on and take off the product. But you should be careful and not once again pull the golf, because there is a risk of breaking it or ruin the zipper.

When choosing a compression golf course, you should mainly pay attention to the distribution of pressure, it should be uniform over the entire length. In order to choose the best socks and guess the size, it is necessary to measure your proportions, namely the ankle, the narrowest part of the leg, and the widest part of the gastrocnemius muscle. If you need a model with a closed toe, you should also measure the length of the foot and take measurements when choosing a product. Then you need to compare the measurements taken with the table in which the dimensions are presented; it is located on each golf package. Compression golf size table is quite simple and has only 4 options of standard standard sizes: S, M, L, XL.

In the summer, during the hot period, an aggravation of the disease and swelling of the legs occurs, so the socks will be as it should be, by the way, but in order to avoid excessive heat load on the legs, you should choose a lightweight summer model.

To put on golf without much difficulty, you should initially turn it inside out to the part where the foot is located, then stick your foot in and distribute golf evenly throughout the entire foot. Then, with careful movements, we begin to turn golf on the outside, at the same time pulling it on to the foot. This should be done gradually until you reach the end of the golf course. Then level it, so that there are no unnecessary folds, and golf was not twisted.
