Varicose socks

A very large number of people have been suffering from varicose veins for a long time. 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.

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, preventing their further deformation. Anti-varicose socks, created from compression fabric, are used to prevent this disease and prevent swelling of the legs.

Despite the fact that the use of anti-fungal golf is practically harmless, there are still a few precautions and contraindications.

When choosing a compression golf, you should mainly pay attention to the distribution of pressure, it should be uniform over the entire length. The maximum effect in treatment or prevention can be achieved only with the correct type of figure golf.

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.

The very first - 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, vascular stars appear, as well as pain in the legs after exercise.

Second class golf have a pressure of 23 to 32 mm Hg and have an appointment with more pronounced symptoms: pain in the calves and feet, the occurrence of varicose veins, there are enlarged veins, the possible occurrence of seizures with subsequent pain.

Third class It is characterized by a pressure level of 34 to 46 mm Hg and is used strictly according to a doctor’s prescription in cases when the following symptoms are present: the occurrence of tumbling, in the postoperative period, with the occurrence of postthrombotic disease.

Compression golf size table is quite simple and has only 4 options of standard standard sizes: S, M, L, XL.

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 the golf on the outside, at the same time pulling it onto the foot, gradually until we reach the end of the golf. Then level it, so that there are no unnecessary folds, and golf was not twisted. It should be borne in mind that for the convenience of putting on a golf with a high compression class, there is a specialized device that can also be bought at the pharmacy.

Since men, unlike women, are less likely to suffer from varicose veins, the range of compression golf is not very wide. They have a superior quality, allowing golf to be invisible under clothes, as well as making them as comfortable as possible to use. Very often socks are used by men, whose legs are subjected to quite strong physical exertion during the day.

In general, the prescription of male and female models is not very different from each other, both are used either for the prevention of the disease or for the treatment and direct prescription of a doctor. But women's models have a main distinctive feature, some variants are made in such a way that they look like ordinary knee-highs, and they can be worn directly in combination with ordinary clothes.

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 regular knee-highs for women, because there are specially designed models of compression golf for pregnant women. But also, before purchasing this product should contact your doctor for advice.

The rules of care are quite simple if you follow certain rules: compression socks should be washed in cold water, avoiding wetting of silicone rubber bands, and also should not be dried on the battery in a suspended state, it is better to let them dry themselves and in a horizontal position.

As well as among any variants of medical or simple clothes, many companies are engaged in production of compression golf. Consider the most popular brands.
