How to pick varicose vein stockings

Varicose vein stockings need to be selected according to the degree of severity of the condition, as well as different lengths and appropriate models. 1. Mild varicose veins: you can choose the health care type of compression stockings, which generally have lower pressure at 15-20mmHg. 2. Moderate varicose veins: they are accompanied by superficial phlebitis or skin pigmentation. In this case, you can choose secondary compression stockings with a pressure of 23-32mmHg. 3. Severe varicose veins: In addition to varicose veins, skin ulcers and lymphedema may be present, so it is recommended to choose grade 3 stockings with a pressure of 34-46mmHg. In addition, it is necessary to choose different lengths and models according to the circumference of the calf and thigh, and if the patient’s symptoms worsen, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time and do not delay the condition.
