Is compression therapy effective in treating varicose veins in the lower extremities?

Compression**, that is, wearing compression stockings** method. Elastic stockings have the effect of promoting venous blood return, by establishing the highest support pressure in the ankle, gradually decreasing along the leg upward, this decreasing change of pressure can promote the venous blood return of the lower limbs, effectively relieve the pressure of the veins of the lower limbs and improve the pressure on the venous valves, and achieve the effect of varicose veins. By wearing it early and taking it off late, it can play a role in alleviating the condition of varicose form.

However, varicose veins are caused by damage to the venous valves, and compression stockings can only help promote venous return, but cannot restore the damaged vein valves to get rid of the varicose veins.

Patients need to know about the need to pay attention to wearing compression stockings.

Compression stockings are purchased by grade. Varicose veins are divided into early, middle and late stages, and the degree of the disease is different, so patients should also choose the right compression stocking pressure according to their varicose degree to relieve the disease. On the other hand, ill-fitting compression stockings can lead to local redness and swelling, aggravating calf flexure and further damage to the body.

Make it a habit to put on early and take off late. Highly elastic varicose vein socks that wrap too tightly around the legs will affect blood flow and be harmful to health. In order to increase sales, some stores advocate that "wearing it while sleeping will have a better relief effect", which is irresponsible.

Medical studies have shown that wearing compression stockings while sleeping will affect the blood supply to the lower limbs and is not conducive to the recovery of the condition, so patients should develop the habit of wearing early and taking off late.

Is it effective to compress **** varicose veins of the lower limbs? Compression of varicose veins of the lower limbs can play a certain role in the prevention of varicose veins, but the prevention of varicose veins can also be carried out through the following methods.

In normal times, we can try to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and supplement more vitamin C and other substances that we need daily. You can also eat more foods containing more fiber to promote the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, help reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, and improve constipation.

Many people may need to sit in front of the computer for a long time because of the needs of work, and one sitting is a whole day, which seriously affects their health. Sitting for a long time will cause our stomach and intestines to be difficult to move, and fat can easily accumulate in our abdomen, which can easily cause us to become obese.

In addition, sitting for a long time will also cause our blood to be in the legs, and the blood flow will not be smooth, which will easily cause us to have symptoms of varicose veins. Therefore, in daily life, we need to avoid sitting for a long time as much as possible, and when we are tired of sitting, we need to stand up and move to maintain blood circulation in the legs and reduce the possibility of varicose veins in the legs.

However, this does not restore the venous valve and achieve the effect from the cause of varicose veins, so the rate is extremely high.

2. Medical elastic stockings. Compression stockings have the effect of promoting venous blood return, by establishing the highest support pressure in the ankle, gradually decreasing along the leg upward, this decreasing change of pressure can promote the venous blood return of the lower limbs, effectively relieving the pressure of the venous vessels of the lower limbs and improving the pressure on the venous valves.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the combination of work and rest to avoid excessive pressure on the blood vessels.

Start with the big toe and tighten it with a cross, then tighten the ball of the foot from the middle with four front and back paths, and finally tie it up at the ankle and tighten it from the middle.

Tie a medical elastic bandage or a general strip of cloth from the ankle and up one by one, until the entire calf is tied.

The principle of leggings is actually quite simple:

Squeeze blood from the veins to promote blood return. However, there is a trick when tying, that is, the part near the ankle should be tied tighter, and then it should not be tied so tightly.

If the leg tension at the ankle is 100, it drops to 70 or 80 in the middle of the calf, and around the knee, the tension only needs to be 50 or 60.

This is because the blood in the ankle has to flow back, and the gravity that overcomes it is the greatest, so it should be tied the tightest; The higher you go, the less gravity works, so you can tie it looser. Moreover, the bottom is tied tightly and the top is loosely tied, and the pressure difference between the two is also conducive to the return of blood to the top.

If it is troublesome to play leggings, it is recommended to buy a kind of elastic stockings that specialize in lower limb varicose veins. This kind of elastic stockings are available in many pharmacies, and they are not too expensive, two or three hundred yuan. The full name of this compression stocking:"Segmented compression stockings", its characteristics are the same as the leggings mentioned above, the ankle is the tightest, and the more you go up, the looser it is.

But objectively speaking, this method can only"Treat the symptoms"。Whether it's leggings or compression stockings, it's impossible to repair an aging venous valve, so it's"Root of the disease"It can't be cured.
