Who should wear compression tights and for what purpose? Judge for yourself. Our legs daily withstand a load much greater than we are aware of. Imagine that they have to maintain the weight of our entire body, which is in an upright position. This leads to an increase in intravascular pressure.
Gradually (with age, under the influence of harmful environmental factors, due to malnutrition), the walls of blood vessels lose their elasticity and stretch. This is what causes varicose veins. In some areas, vein expansion is formed. At the initial stage of varicose veins, preventive measures are used. In the future, the disease progresses and veins begin to appear through the skin. All this is accompanied by swelling and pain.
Now with varicose veins, doctors recommend using compression hosiery. It creates a supporting framework that protects the veins from further stretching, and helps to increase the outflow of blood.
Compression tights should be worn to treat or prevent varicose veins (varicose veins). Such products are hosiery products with a pronounced therapeutic effect, while their use has practically no contraindications.
Compression tights are comfortable, quite resistant to mechanical stress, with an elastic toe, designed for a foot of any size, have a compacted heel.
There are several compression classes. Preventive tights have a compression ratio of 1 (up to 18 mmHg), they can be bought at any store; medicinal - up to 4 (20-40 mmHg), they are sold only in medical institutions.
Such products are available in two primary colors: black and beige. The upper gum in them is soft and stretching, not compressing the abdominal organs. This is important because compression tights must be worn constantly. If you stand for a long time, sit, endure heavy loads, go in for sports, drive a car, then this is a significant plus, because the movements are not shy.
Uniform squeezing of the foot provides a healing effect. Below it is more palpable, in the upper part it is weakening. Such a system creates excellent conditions for proper blood circulation. This is what allows you to reduce swelling, weaken the manifestations of varicose veins and reduce the risk of blood clots.
Compression tights should be worn in the morning without getting out of bed. In the supine position, it is recommended to raise the legs and carefully put on the knitwear, since only in this position the vessels maintain a close to perfect shape.
Compression tights reviews are different, but mostly positive. The benefits of their use outweigh the inconvenience of wearing. Such tights contribute to improving the outflow of lymph from the lower extremities, improve microcirculation, slow the development of varicose veins, are a means of preventing venous thrombosis and possible complications of such a disease.
With proper care, the compression properties last up to 10-12 months.
