When diagnosing various disorders in the venous system of the lower extremities, for example, varicose veins, all patients are recommended to wear compression garments . This is an excellent tool that allows you to make additional corrections in the treatment of pathological processes, changing the patient’s condition towards improvement.
Compression therapy for vein diseases has been used throughout history. A description of methods for treating trophic ulcers on the legs with bandages and pressure bandages is in the works of the founders of medical science. The principle of compression underwear is that it creates pressure of varying strength in different parts of the lower limb. In this case, the maximum compression (100%) falls on the lower part of the leg (above the ankle). This is due to the fact that more force is required to lift the blood up from this area. As the blood flow moves upward, the load on the veins decreases. 70% of the pressure inherent in the underwear is applied to the upper part of the shin, and only 40% is applied to the thigh. The underwear compresses the veins, pushing out stagnant blood, forcing it to move.

Thanks to this load distribution, blood flow directed to the heart is normalized. Built-in compression resembles the load created by muscle work during movement . People who use compression garments, by the end of the working day, have less tired legs and do not swell. Compression knitwear for varicose veins includes knee socks and sleeves, tights and tights, stockings and bandages. It has virtually no contraindications. And you can wear it all the time instead of regular underwear.
Compression knitted underwear is made from elastic cotton and nylon fibers, microfiber and lycra. Therefore, it has the same aesthetic appearance as a regular one. It has no seams. This is the most attractive remedy. In addition, it is hypoallergenic, pleasantly caresses the skin and allows air to pass through. Compressive properties are created and distributed by special processing of linen using the latest computer technology. If you follow the rules of care, the healing properties last for 6 months.
Compression garments can be preventive (the compression they create is the smallest), therapeutic (for wearing during an exacerbation of venous disease) and hospital (for use in hospitals after surgery).
It is recommended to wear prophylactic underwear at the first appearance of spider veins on the legs, enlargement of the saphenous veins, and when pain and swelling appear in the legs at the end of the working day. Such stockings exert a pressure of no more than 18 mm Hg on the surface of the leg. Art. (2.7x10? Pa), which is designed to balance the increased blood pressure in the lower parts of the vein. Thanks to this, the elastic stocking does not allow fluid to accumulate in the ankle area, thereby eliminating the cause of swelling. For the purpose of prevention, compression garments can also be worn by healthy people who are at risk for diseases of the venous vessels of the lower extremities. It is useful for teachers and salespeople, hairdressers and drivers, as well as representatives of other professions whose work involves long periods of being in one static position (standing or sitting). It can be purchased over the counter in pharmacies. No recipe required for this. Since compression garments come in different types, let’s look at each of them.
Compression tights are the most popular type of therapeutic underwear. In addition, there are special models for pregnant women. Tights that are properly sized should fit tightly around your legs and end exactly at the waist. If the underwear is too small or, conversely, too large, the distribution of compression is disrupted and the therapeutic effect is lost . According to reviews from most patients, tights are the most comfortable type of compression hosiery, which is easy to remove, but when putting it on you need to make some effort, since they must be evenly distributed along the leg. But then they will be securely fixed on the nude and will not slip during movement, which contributes to the accurate distribution of the compression embedded in them and the achievement of the desired results. Wearing compression garments can be combined with the use of cosmetics for the legs and medicinal preparations in the form of ointments and creams. But it is better if they are applied before bedtime, after the medicinal underwear has been removed. If the skin requires constant hydration, it is recommended to use quickly absorbing creams with a light structure. This will protect the linen from destroying the integrity of the fibers and losing its healing properties.
Stockings and tights are more suitable for treating diseased veins in women. But in the world, many men suffer from varicose veins. How should they be? Should you constantly wrap your legs with elastic bandages? No. Doctors have a solution to the problem for men too. They can use compression socks, the choice of which is quite wide today. Special knee socks have been created for travelers and people leading an active lifestyle, preventative and for constant wear for medicinal purposes. Although why shouldn’t men wear tights under their trousers? You can’t see it anyway, but what a luxury for your feet! There is a wide range of compression socks from various brands for both men and women. It is believed that all people can wear them as they have no side effects. However, there are several contraindications. Knee socks should not be worn if a person has diseases of the blood vessels such as endarteritis, atherosclerosis, aortoarteritis, as well as open wounds or trophic ulcers with purulent inflammation, necrosis or eczema.
An elastic bandage is still used as an additional treatment for varicose veins. Compared to compression hosiery, it is less effective. In addition, it is inconvenient and takes a long time to apply it to diseased areas. The degree of compression is created manually by tightening the bandages and is controlled intuitively. But the biggest drawback is that the bandages constantly slip off. However, many people are forced to use them, since this is the cheapest type of knitwear used to prevent diseases of the venous vessels. Therefore, you should know how to properly bandage your legs for varicose veins.
It should be remembered that you need to apply an elastic bandage in the morning, immediately after waking up, before fluid begins to accumulate in the ankle area, leading to swelling. The procedure is performed in the “lying” position, with the leg raised up at an angle of 90°. Doing this on your own is inconvenient. Yes, and achieving the desired tension is quite difficult. Therefore, it is better to ask someone from the household to help complete this procedure.
The correct application of the bandage can be checked by the appearance of the fingers. If done correctly, they will look blue at first. But literally after a couple of minutes their normal color returns. In the area of the knee and elbow joints, the bandage should not be too tight so as not to disrupt blood circulation in this area. A sign of improper bandaging (too tight) is numbness in the fingers and pain. At the same time, blood pulsation is felt under the bandage. In this case, you need to lie down, free your leg from the bandage, massage it a little, and allow the blood flow to normalize. And then re-bandage.
To achieve the necessary therapeutic effect in the treatment of varicose veins and a number of other vein diseases, drug therapy alone is not enough. Therapeutic knitwear plays a major role in eliminating swelling, relieving pain and other symptoms. Thanks to wearing it, patients experience the following beneficial effects:
In all classes, compression is distributed from 100% at the ankle to 40% at the hip
Unlike preventative compression garments, therapeutic ones cannot be purchased over the counter. It is sold by prescription. And it is recommended to purchase it in specialized salons that sell orthopedic products. Medical therapeutic knitwear has the following compression classes according to the degree of pressure created:
Preventive underwear and knitwear of the 1st class can be selected independently. And buying tights or stockings included in compression classes 2 and 3 is allowed only after a preliminary consultation with a phlebologist. He will give recommendations on wearing regimen; will tell you how to properly use and care for your underwear.
All types of compression underwear have different prices, but it most often depends on the promotion of the brand and the material from which the socks are made (stockings or tights). Distributing compression over areas of tights (stockings or socks), and then legs, does not affect the price. The pressure is the same in all models.
The choice of therapeutic knitwear is quite wide. Therefore, many people ask the question: what type of knitwear is better for varicose veins? To answer this, let's start with the fact that therapeutic compression hosiery of any kind is designed to stop the development of varicose veins, eliminate blood stagnation in the extremities and relieve swelling in the ankle area. And tights, stockings and knee socks do an excellent job with this task. The only difference between them is their length: the maximum length of golf is to the knee, stockings end at the top of the thigh, and tights end at the waist. The choice of product based on this criterion is carried out depending on the location of the main signs of the disease. If the pattern of dilated veins is limited to the lower leg, then for an anti-varicose effect it is enough to purchase knee socks. If they have spread higher, then you should take care of stockings or tights. Here the choice depends only on your own preferences. Women's therapeutic stockings and tights can be either transparent or with patterns printed on them. Therapeutic underwear for men is made like regular knitwear to remain invisible. Pharmacies and specialized salons offer therapeutic compression hosiery from various manufacturers. Compression in underwear of any brand is calculated with maximum accuracy. Therefore, stockings and tights from all companies have the same therapeutic effect. They differ mainly in design, duration of wear, and cost.
Compression garments from an Italian manufacturer attract many Russian patients of phlebological clinics with relatively low prices. Their maximum cost does not exceed 1200 rubles. Models of various designs and all compression classes are offered. Their disadvantages are fragility (compression lasts no more than a month), slight discomfort in wearing and rapid wear.
The Russian company Intex is a worthy competitor to foreign companies, supplying high-quality underwear for varicose veins at a relatively low cost. It creates the necessary compression and has fairly high wear resistance. For an amount from 800 to 1300 rubles you can buy tights, stockings or knee socks made of excellent fabric, with high-quality seams and get the necessary therapeutic effect.
Tights, stockings and knee socks from the Spanish company ORTO are mid-priced products. The minimum amount that you will have to pay for the simplest treatment pair varies from 400 to 700 rubles. All products are of good quality. The compression lasts up to 4 months, but they wear out quickly on the toes and feet.
VenoteksTherapy compression garments (USA) are one of the most popular. It is represented by a wide range of models. All products of this brand are certified and comply with Russian State Standards. Stockings, tights and knee socks have an average degree of wear resistance. All models presented by Venotex have a relatively low cost:
For those who prefer higher quality knitwear, it is better to purchase products from one of the German companies Medi or Bauerfeind. The prices for the products of these companies are much higher (from 1,300 rubles), but they fully correspond to the quality of the products. All products are comfortable to wear, easy to care for, and have a high degree of wear resistance. Stockings, knee socks and tights have a great design. The model range of these companies includes underwear for travel and sports. To put on underwear with compression higher than class 2, you need to buy a special device from medi.
Elite medical underwear from the Swiss company Sigvaris is the most expensive of all types presented. It features minimal wear, high quality workmanship and excellent design. These are the main properties for which Russian customers must shell out from their wallets an amount from 2,500 to 4,500 rubles and more per pair. Since the compression inherent in the underwear and the therapeutic effect of wearing it do not differ from the pressure created by knitwear from other manufacturers.
When choosing compression garments, many people make the mistake of not knowing how they are labeled. Especially when buying it secondhand, in markets, etc., trying to save on your purchase. On the packaging of any type of therapeutic knitwear, the class of compression created is indicated, indicating the pressure in mmHg. Art. (or Pa). On ordinary tights, stockings or knee socks, the density of the fabric is shown in den. Therefore, you should refuse to purchase if tights in the nth number of deniers are offered as compression underwear . Hoping for a therapeutic effect from wearing them, you can worsen the condition of the veins.
After you have chosen the company and model of the product, and received a recipe indicating the compression class, you need to decide on the size of the tights (stockings and golf). To do this, the following leg measurements are taken at home; For golf:
Example of a size chart with letter designation for Medi knitwear
For tights, in addition to the measurements listed above, you will also need to measure the circumference of the waist and hips, as well as the length of the leg from the foot to the groin. To select stockings (and other underwear) of the right size, the data obtained is compared with those given in special size tables, which may differ from one manufacturer to another . When purchasing compression garments at an orthopedic salon, all you need to do is show your measurements to the consultant, and he will select the model of the required size. High-quality compression garments are quite expensive. But sometimes it happens that it causes discomfort while wearing. Even theoretically, correctly selected underwear can negatively affect the condition of the veins during use. Therefore, it is recommended to first purchase a cheaper model and get used to the sensations that arise when wearing compression garments. And only after that you can buy expensive anti-varicose tights or stockings for constant wear.

Wearing compression garments is recommended for ALL pregnant women . In the first trimester, even if there are no obvious signs of varicose veins, it is recommended to use preventive knitwear. At later stages, you should use the recommendations of your treating physicians. Compression hosiery for pregnant women has significant differences from other types of medical underwear. Firstly, at the top of the tights there is an elastic bandage, the main function of which is to support the stomach without squeezing it. And secondly, fabrics with increased breathability are used for their manufacture. Many women during pregnancy prefer wearing compression stockings . This is due to the fact that the enlarged belly does not fit into the leggings of the tights (it cannot stretch indefinitely). And not every expectant mother feels comfortable in special tights for pregnant women. And you can choose stockings taking into account physiological characteristics and your own preferences. They are offered in the following types:
People need to create targeted pressure on the surface of the legs in order to normalize blood flow not only for diseases of the venous vessels, such as varicose veins. It can be used when losing weight to remove excess fluid and smooth out fat deposits in the form of folds. At the same time, thanks to the compression created, muscles and skin are massaged and toned. Special compression garments are recommended to be worn in the first month of the postpartum period. It helps prevent many serious complications, such as prolapse of the vaginal walls, prolapse of the uterus, etc. In addition, it supports the abdominal muscles, which were weakened during pregnancy. Compression garments for sports allow you to achieve greater results with less consumption of the body's energy reserves. It increases endurance, a person gets less tired, which means he can do more strength exercises.
Unlike regular ones, there are certain rules for putting on compression tights.
Compression stockings for varicose veins are worn in the same way. To make the process of putting on anti-varicose tights and stockings as easy as possible, you can purchase one of the special devices, for example medi Butler. They are produced for different categories of patients:
This company also offers a device that helps you remove medical underwear - medi Butler Off.
If there is no device for putting on anti-varicose tights (stockings), then when performing this procedure, manufacturers recommend using latex gloves so as not to damage the elastic fibers with your nails. All toenails should also be trimmed short and filed. The surface of corns and dry calluses should be smoothed.
When a person is prescribed compression therapy for the first time, questions may arise regarding the use of therapeutic hosiery. For example, a patient bought knee socks, and a varicose vein turned out to be just above the elastic band . Doubt arises. Do I need to wear the purchased item? - In this case, the affected vessel will be indirectly affected by normalizing blood flow in the lower part of the leg, and therefore the purchased product can be used. But it is highly recommended to try to purchase a product of the appropriate size. Many questions arise about whether it is possible to wear stockings against varicose veins on swollen legs. In this case, phlebologists agree that it is not only possible, but also necessary. But this is quite difficult to do, since due to swelling the size of the leg is greatly increased. The question often arises: why do you need to take off your stockings (knee socks) at night? - It is recommended to do this so that the skin of the legs can rest and breathe. When a person is in a horizontal position (with 1st and 2nd degrees of venous insufficiency), the underwear does not work, that is, compression is not created. Therefore, leaving it on the body is useless. However, if a person accidentally falls asleep in his underwear, there is no serious harm. The most common question is what underwear to wear on hot summer days. — Compression should continue in the summer. Moreover, higher temperatures provoke additional vasodilation. On particularly hot days, you can use lighter underwear, 1st class or preventative. Reducing compression in this case is preferable to not having it at all.
Any type of compression garment requires full care in order to maintain its healing properties for a long time.
If you listen to the opinion of those who already have experience using compression garments, then it is better to purchase two pairs at once (for reliability and ease of care).
One of the most important non-medicinal methods of treating a disease such as varicose veins in the legs is the regular wearing of shapewear or compression hosiery. This article will tell you how to choose compression stockings for varicose veins.
Its task is to reduce the lumen of dilated superficial veins and create a certain elastic resistance. Throughout their entire length, the stockings do not create the same pressure, but different ones. The pressure drop is strictly determined by the manufacturer and the correct size selection. The general rule is to gradually reduce the applied pressure from the foot upward.
Compression stockings normalize blood flow towards the heart
The action of the elastic force is similar to the action of a hand squeezing out laundry. The more water accumulated in it, the more force is required. Compression hosiery works in the same way: in order to lift the blood up through the vessels at the level of the ankle, significant effort is required. Therefore, the compression force in this area should be greatest. This helps to intensively push blood upward. This is how stockings help overcome the force of gravity.
Since compression underwear is a medical product that exhibits healing properties, high-quality microfiber, lycra fiber, nylon and cotton are used to make it. An important advantage of such underwear is the complete absence of seams. High-quality compression underwear is pleasant to the touch, wears well, absorbs moisture, and does not cause skin irritation or allergies. The skin “breathes” in it, as the underwear allows air to pass through.
It is important to choose high-quality compression stockings, otherwise there is a high risk of worsening blood flow
High-quality and well-chosen stockings, despite the fact that they compress the leg, will never chafe, and soon become completely invisible on the leg when worn. Therefore, prices for elastic stockings for varicose veins on the legs cannot be low - after all, only special programs on computer looms can calculate the required compression difference.
The average cost of compression stockings, depending on the size, degree of compression and appearance, is 1.5 - 2.5 thousand rubles, and tights - from 2.5 thousand to 10 or more, depending on the amount of natural materials, brand and design . Usually, when people first find out how much stockings or knee socks cost, they are ready to give them up. But as a result, savings on medications and surgeries turn out to be so significant that anti-varicose jersey can be considered one of the most cost-effective ways to treat vascular pathology of the extremities.
Despite the high price, the service life of tights and stockings with intensive wear is 6 – 8 months. The higher the compression force, the longer the service life.
How to choose orthopedic stockings for varicose veins of the lower extremities? Choosing shapewear is somewhat different from simply buying hosiery. To choose the right compression stockings, knee socks or tights, you need to know:
The size of compression garments is selected individually, depending on muscle volume and individual characteristics. Some people think that knowing your height and weight is enough for selection. This is a deep misconception. Most likely, in this case, for a lot of money you can buy ordinary stockings and tights, and not special ones that correct the outflow of blood.
It must be remembered that, like all medical products, compression garments cannot be returned or exchanged. Therefore, you need to purchase it in appropriate stores that sell medical equipment and in orthopedic salons.
If you are purchasing for the first time, be sure to use the help of a sales consultant. First, you need to find out in as much detail as possible from your attending physician (phlebologist, vascular surgeon) all the indicators that you require.
The most important rule: never buy compression garments (especially for the first time) in online stores. Even if it seems to you that the size is selected correctly, deviations are possible that will significantly reduce the therapeutic effect.
The measurement to be taken involves taking 5 sizes: above the knee, at the level of the kneecap, at the widest point of the calf, above the ankles and on the foot. Size data is correlated with table values depending on the compression class. For men, the sizes are slightly different than for women, but the compression classes based on elastic compression strength are the same.
There are 4 compression classes: light, medium, strong and very strong. The pressure in each class reaches, respectively, 20.5, 33, 45, and more than 59 mm Hg. Art.
Your doctor will advise you on the appropriate compression class for you.
Compression class Nos. 2, 3 and 4 is clearly determined by a specialist based on ultrasound data, as well as other instrumental studies of arterial and venous blood flow in the lower extremities. Compression hosiery of the first compression class can be chosen independently, for example, to prevent varicose veins during standing work. When purchasing, you need to remember that pressure is marked on anti-varicose tights only in international units - millimeters of mercury. Therefore, if you are offered “compression stockings”, and there is no symbol (mm Hg) or (mm Hg) on the label, but there is the usual marking in den, then you are being misled.
In the later stages, you must definitely purchase stockings for childbirth. For pregnant women, this is an important preventative measure, because childbirth is the time of greatest stress on the body. With possible blood loss, the body increases the reserves of the blood coagulation system, which can lead to the formation of intravascular blood clots. To avoid the risk of thromboembolism, compression stockings should be worn during labor. This is especially necessary if the expectant mother already has peripheral vascular disease: thrombophlebitis or varicose veins.
After purchasing underwear, you need to know how to properly wear compression stockings for varicose veins. There are certain rules:
Compression stockings help quickly relieve visible symptoms of varicose veins
In conclusion, it is worth saying that wearing compression hosiery does not involve staying in it at night. But if by chance a person falls asleep in such tights, nothing bad will happen. In addition, there is a prejudice that underwear should not be worn in case of severe swelling. Quite the opposite is true: if you wear underwear, the swelling will soon disappear.
Stockings are a thing that almost every girl has in her wardrobe. They help you look more feminine and sexy. If you choose them correctly, they will not leave representatives of the opposite sex indifferent.
Usually, when you come to the store to buy things, you can try them on and thus choose the right size. With stockings things are much more complicated. They cannot be tried on and if the size does not suit you, they cannot be returned or exchanged.
The wrong ones will cause a lot of discomfort. The small ones will press, the big ones will subside. This article will give you some tips on how to choose the size you need.
Each package must contain a table. It consists of a horizontal column - height and a vertical column - weight.
After this, you can determine the size using the table. Find your height among the values, then your weight. The intersection of imaginary lines from these two values will indicate the desired size.
There are nine sizes of stockings. They may be designated by numbers or letters, depending on the manufacturer.
The leg size on the package is indicated from 8.5 to 13. The length of the stocking can be short (slightly above the knee) and is designated by the letter S, medium - (about 10 cm above the knee) is M, long - (to the middle of the thigh) is L .
You should take into account the features of your figure: the length and fullness of your legs. If they are plump, you should take a size larger.
If you want to choose not just beautiful stockings, but also therapeutic ones, then you should opt for compression ones.
In addition to the therapeutic effect, imperfections will be visually hidden and the legs will look slimmer. You can buy these in a specialty store or pharmacy. They are often recommended to be worn during pregnancy, which helps avoid swelling of the legs. They maintain tone with a tight fit.
This item will last a very long time if you wear it carefully. They are made from high-quality elastic materials, which may include cotton, rubber, lycra. A big plus is that the fabric is hypoallergenic and therefore does not cause irritation or itching.
The peculiarity is that they are as narrow as possible at the bottom, near the ankles, they squeeze the knees a little less and do not put pressure in the hips.
Consult a phlebologist first. He will recommend the desired category out of four possible ones.
A separate table has been developed for these stockings, where the most important criterion is weight. Here is a table of these sizes:
The choice of colors and patterns is very large, so in any case you can buy what you like.

Varicose veins, or varicose veins, is an irreversible disease of the veins of the lower extremities, which is characterized by their persistent expansion, lengthening, and thinning of the venous wall. Dilated veins are visible under the skin in the form of nodes.
Varicose veins are a fairly common disease. Most often, this process develops in the veins of the lower extremities. This is due to the weakness of the venous walls. Both women and men suffer from varicose veins. Most often, this disease manifests itself at the age of 30-40 years. The risk of developing varicose veins increases with a sedentary lifestyle , when a person spends the whole day sitting at a computer in the office and uses a car instead of walking.
The causes of varicose veins are as follows:
40% of women suffer from such a disease as varicose veins . The development of this disease in women is most often promoted by pregnancy. After all, it is during pregnancy that the following changes occur in a woman’s body:
All these factors contribute to the development of varicose veins in women.
Symptoms of varicose veins are:
If you have the above symptoms, it is better to immediately contact a specialist. In addition, it is important to remember that timely consultation with a doctor in the presence of symptoms of varicose veins, treatment in the early stages of the disease, leads to better results. By contacting our clinic, you will receive highly specialized care from the best doctors. At the highest level, we diagnose the disease, treat it and prevent it .
Using the high professionalism of our doctors and the latest expert-class equipment, we achieve the best results.
Special compression stockings are used for varicose veins , both during treatment and for the prevention of varicose veins. Compression stockings are considered one of the most effective methods of preventing varicose veins. These stockings are made of compression knitwear. Thanks to compression hosiery, the tissues of the legs are compressed from the outside, which leads to a decrease in the diameter of the veins. As a result, venous congestion is eliminated, and the patient’s well-being improves.
There are a certain number of classes of compression garments. Compression stockings for varicose veins are divided into therapeutic, preventive and hospital . Therefore, you have a wide choice of using such underwear at any stage of the disease. In our clinic, a phlebologist will make an accurate diagnosis, assess the degree and stage of the disease and prescribe compression stockings. So, for example, one patient needs to wear only knee socks, while another will need tights, etc. Moreover, it is not always necessary to wear underwear on both legs at once.
It is very important to choose the right compression stockings for varicose veins that will suit you best. However, it is necessary to remember that it is the phlebologist who will help you competently understand this issue. And self-medication can only do harm! There are different types of compression garments and they are selected according to the recommendations of the attending physician. There are special underwear for women and men, and there are also universal options. Compression garments differ in the level of decompression, size and therapeutic purpose of the phlebologist.
What should you pay attention to when choosing compression garments?
Incorrectly chosen stockings for varicose veins can cause harm . The essence of their use is that an artificial physiological pressure profile is formed in the lower extremities, 100% of which falls on the ankle area, 70% on the upper leg area and 40% on the upper third of the thigh. Thanks to this, venous blood flow is restored in the direction from the lower extremities to the heart.
There are also contraindications for wearing compression underwear, so before you buy compression stockings for varicose veins, you should definitely consult with a specialist.
Hello! Unfortunately, severe injuries in a very large percentage are complicated by deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities. Definitely, today it has been proven all over the world that the most optimal treatment for deep vein thrombosis is correctly selected, adequate conservative therapy. Surgical treatment is aimed only at removing the floating (moving) tip of the thrombus in order to prevent a life-threatening complication - pulmonary embolism. It is technically impossible to remove the thrombus along its entire length from the veins and restore their lumen due to the peculiarities of the process and pathophysiological processes. A vena cava filter is currently installed only for strict indications, when there are no other options, and the risk of “separation” of a blood clot and the development of pulmonary embolism is high. Recently, removable vena cava filters have been used, but they can be removed in no more than 15%. These are the statistics unfortunately. And removal is carried out only within a period of no more than 3 weeks from the date of installation. Subsequently, it is tightly fixed to the walls of the inferior vena cava (grows in) and removal in the later stages is associated with the development of life-threatening complications. In this case, resolution of the process and restoration of the lumen of the deep veins depends on activation, compression hosiery, optimal anticoagulant therapy and observation by a phlebologist.
Hello! The first step is to perform an ultrasound of the superficial veins of the lower extremities to exclude acute pathology of the venous system. Compression knitwear 2 degrees of compression.
Hello. The choice of drug therapy must be individualized and a number of factors must be taken into account.
