In general, for people who have had surgery, it is recommended that they wear compression stockings for about 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the individual. In the current clinical practice, after surgery, the postoperative population will be allowed to wear compression stockings. The main function of compression stockings is to prevent deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs. However, the exact time to wear compression stockings varies due to various reasons, such as the type of surgery, the patient’s physical condition, etc. In general, for abdominal surgery, compression stockings are not recommended. Generally speaking, it is recommended to wear compression stockings for about 1 week after abdominal surgery, or even shorter in the case of lumpectomy, and for about 4 weeks after varicose vein surgery in the lower extremities. For people with poor physical condition, they need to wear them for a longer period of time. Therefore, it is advisable to consult one’s doctor in charge about the exact duration of wearing compression stockings after surgery. After surgery, you should also have regular check-ups and perform functional exercises as prescribed by the doctor.
