The duration of compression stockings after varicose vein surgery is closely related to the procedure used. Commonly used procedures include local foam sclerotherapy, minimally invasive treatment, and high saphenous vein ligation and stripping. If varicose veins are treated by local foam sclerotherapy, the stockings are worn for 2-3 weeks; if minimally invasive treatment is used, including laser, microwave and radiofrequency ablation, it is recommended to wear the stockings for 2-3 months after surgery, which can play a good therapeutic role and avoid local phlebitis; if the traditional saphenous vein ligation and stripping is used, the stockings are worn for 2-3 months after surgery. Varicose veins elastic stockings are recommended to be worn for 3-6 months, because the traditional varicose vein surgery has to extract the main trunk of the vein and strip the more serious varicose veins at the same time, at this time, if the elastic stockings are worn for a shorter period of time, it may cause the formation of hematoma within the local area, which will lead to the formation of local manifestation of phlebitis in serious cases. No matter what kind of varicose vein surgery, if the patient has no discomfort to wear the elastic stocking, the time of wearing the elastic stocking can be extended appropriately, especially for the people who stand and sit for a long time, such as doctors, teachers, or people who need to sit for a long time, because the elastic stocking has a pressure gradient, which will push the blood from the ankle to the heart gradually under pressure, and wearing the elastic stocking while working can promote the venous blood flow back well. If you need to ride on transportation for a long time after surgery, you can also wear elastic stockings to promote venous blood return and avoid local varicose vein recurrence.
