Anti-varicose tights and compression underwear

Data from medical research are disappointing, a large number of people suffer from varicose veins, almost a third of the world's population. For its prevention, there are many methods, one of which is the wearing of underwear called anti-varicose knitwear. It must be worn with only the emerging signs of the disease. The first manifestations you can determine yourself. They are manifested in the form of protruding veins, vascular "stars" and rapid fatigue of the legs. It is recommended that such underwear and for wearing pregnant women also for the prevention of varicose veins. Waiting for the baby, the expectant mother can wear anti-varicose tights, stockings or knee socks.

Compression underwear is a very good replacement for recently used uncomfortable, tugging elastic bandages and bandages. Anti-varicose pantyhose is much more practical and aesthetic. That's why they are so loved by pregnant women.

There is a deceptive opinion that compression tights are the same elastic, but it is not. Here the measurement goes on a completely different scale. Anti-varicose tights have a differentiated nature of compression. This means that the pressure exerted on the ankle will be different from the pressure in the area of the thigh or groin. The ratio is approximately the same: in the groin it does not exceed 20%, in the hip zone - 50%, then the pressure increases and reaches 75% in the knee region, reaching 100% at the ankles. The density of such pantyhose is measured in mm of mercury, in contrast to the usual elastic, where these measurements take place in units of den.

Anti-varicose tights proposed for pregnant women differ slightly from ordinary compression models in that an elastic insert is inserted in the abdomen, allowing the tummy to grow unhindered.

In order not to harm your body, you need to consult a phlebologist before buying, which will determine the density of compression linen necessary for you and decide which model to purchase. Maybe it will be enough to buy anti-varicose socks or stockings. It all depends on the severity of varicose veins and your condition. Famous brands of compression tricade: Italian Tiana, German Copper, Swiss Venosan, French VARISMA and many others.

I want to note the categories of people who need to wear anti-varicose knitwear:

• Hereditary nature of the disease;
• Overweight, work sitting or on legs;
• When taking hormonal drugs;
• During pregnancy;
• Drivers, people lifting weights, smokers;
• At long flights, crossings;
• When wearing close products, which result in stagnation in the veins.

All these risk factors can, in addition to leg fatigue when walking and dilated veins, have consequences much more serious. When the blood flow is disturbed, the work of the heart muscle, lungs, kidneys and liver is disrupted. This should be remembered, and in order for the body to function properly, it is necessary to conduct constant monitoring of the state of health, which necessarily includes the examination of veins.

With any manifestation of venous changes, complex therapy is necessary, which necessarily includes the selection of special linen. Compression therapy is the wearing of all kinds of anti-varicose knitwear: stockings, golfs, anti-varicose tights and so on. What are the main directions of their application? This includes the following:

• Disease prevention;
• Complex use in combination with curative gymnastics;
• After sclerotherapy;
• After removal of the affected veins.

When treating the already existing disease, wear anti-varicose tights of 4 degrees of density, with minor lesions - 1 and 2 degrees of density, with deep damages of 3-4 degrees. You should know that these measures are not a panacea and you can not do without the help of doctors. Even for the purchase of compression lingerie you will need a doctor's consultation. Do not forget that jersey for the treatment and prevention of varicose veins is sold exclusively in pharmacies or specialized stores. All products have a shelf life. Observe the operating instructions for the product.
