What happens in varicose veins?
Dilated veins lead to stagnation of blood in the legs and increased pressure in the vessels - venous hypertension. This makes it more difficult for the body to pump blood to the heart: fluid stasis increases, pressure increases even more, and the vessel itself expands. In untreated varicose veins sometimes look like bunches of grapes, and any trauma can lead to their damage and the development of severe bleeding.
Can varicose veins be cured?
Phlebologists treat varicose veins. At first, they recommend drug therapy, such as taking venotonics, and in advanced stages - surgical treatment. However, the progression of the disease can be stopped with the help of compression knitwear.
Special medical devices (socks, stockings, tights) exert a graduated pressure on the tissues of the legs. Its maximum is in the ankle area and gradually decreases towards the thigh.

How to choose compression hosiery for varicose veins of the lower legs?
Doctors usually recommend compression socks for shin veins. They are suitable for both women and men. The degree of compression is determined individually. Medical socks of the second compression class (23-32 mmHg) are used to provide therapeutic effect in varicose veins with more pronounced manifestations of venous insufficiency.
They reduce leg swelling and pain, night cramps and other manifestations of the disease. Medical compression socks are also used for common “vascular asterisks” (telangiectasia on the lower legs), after surgical treatment or sclerotherapy. They are available with or without a toe.

Who is suitable for medical compression socks without a toe?
Toe-less socks exert the same pressure on the lower limb tissues as toe-less socks. However, they are more suitable for people with deformed toes or excessive sweating and are more comfortable to wear and less likely to be damaged. In addition, compression socks without a toe are indispensable if you need to wear open shoes (especially important for women).
