Golfs from varicose veins

A very large number of people have been suffering from varicose veins for a long time. An assistant in the fight against this disease is compression fabric, namely stockings made from it. What is it, what features exist, and what is the secret of the action, we will now consider in more detail.

Compression knitwear is a special fabric that is used in the fight or preventive procedures for varicose veins. The disease becomes progressive in its course due to a decrease in the elasticity of the blood vessels of the lower extremities. This is where compression hosiery helps - it has a supporting effect on the outside for the vessels, preventing their further deformation. Anti-varicose stockings made of compression fabric serve to prevent this disease and prevent swelling of the legs.

Despite the fact that the use of anti-varicose golf is practically harmless, there are still several precautions and contraindications.

When choosing compression golf, you should mainly pay attention to the distribution of pressure, it should be uniform along the entire length. The maximum effect in treatment or prevention can be achieved only with golfs that are correctly selected for the type of figure.

Varieties of golf differ in compression classes, that is, in the strength of the squeezing effect on the leg.

There are only three types of compression classes with different degrees of pressure, which is measured in millimeters of mercury.

The very first - has a pressure of 18 to 22 millimeters of mercury (hereinafter - mm Hg) and is intended for people with initial symptoms of this disease: legs swell, veins stand out, spider veins appear, as well as pain in the legs after exercise.

Second class golf have a pressure of 23 to 32 mm Hg and are prescribed for more pronounced symptoms: pain in the calves and feet, the occurrence of varicose veins, dilated veins are observed, the possible occurrence of convulsions with subsequent pain.

Third class characterized by a pressure level of 34 to 46 mm Hg and are used strictly according to the doctor's prescription in cases where the following symptoms are present: the occurrence of thrombosis, in the postoperative period, in the event of post-thrombotic disease.

The compression golf size chart is quite simple and has only 4 options for standard generally accepted sizes: S, M, L, XL.

To put on golf without much difficulty, you should initially turn it inside out to the part where the foot is located, then stick your foot in and distribute the golf evenly over the entire foot. Then, with careful movements, we begin to turn the golf to the outside, at the same time pulling it on the leg, gradually until we reach the end of the golf. Then we level it so that there are no unnecessary folds, and the golf is not twisted. It should be borne in mind that for the convenience of putting on golf with a high compression class, there is a specialized device that can also be bought at a pharmacy.

Since men, unlike women, are less likely to suffer from varicose veins, the model range among compression golf is not very wide.They have the main quality that allows golfs to be invisible under clothes, as well as making them as comfortable as possible to use. Very often, golfs are used by men whose legs are subjected to quite strong physical exertion during the day.

Basically, the purpose of male and female models is not very different from each other, both are used either for the prevention of the disease, or for the treatment and direct appointment of a doctor. But women's models have the main distinguishing feature, some options are made in such a way that they look like ordinary golfs, and they can be worn directly in combination with ordinary clothes.

Doctors recommend starting to wear compression stockings from the first months of pregnancy, as the body needs prevention in connection with the subsequent heavy loads on the legs. You should not buy regular stockings for women, as there are specially designed models of compression stockings for pregnant women. But also, before purchasing this product, you should consult a doctor for advice.

The care rules are quite simple if you follow certain rules: compression stockings should be washed in cold water, avoiding wetting silicone rubber, and also not dried on a battery in a suspended state, it is better to let them dry on their own and in a horizontal position.

As well as among any options for medical or simple clothing, many companies are engaged in the manufacture of compression golf. Consider the most popular brands.

Golfs of this model are made in Switzerland and are considered elite because they have a very high cost.However, judging by consumer reviews, the quality is at a high level.

Unlike the previous version, this model has a very affordable price, but is in no way inferior in quality. This model is made in Italy.

The price range is as wide as the lineup. Basically, prices range from 700 rubles to 5000 rubles, depending on the manufacturer.

It is natural that consumers have many questions regarding the use of compression golf. We have answered the most frequently asked questions.

It is possible and necessary to wear anti-varicose stockings in the summer, since it is during this period that the disease exacerbates. There are special summer models that have a transparent appearance and are hidden from prying eyes.

It is worth wearing such knee-highs constantly while the load on the legs is carried out. You can remove them to rest your legs when you are in a horizontal position and there is no load.

Sleeping in compression stockings will do you no harm or good. Since golfs only work when there is a load on the legs, that is, when you are in an upright position.

There is no need for stockings, unless the vein disease occurs in the area above the knee, in which case stockings will fit perfectly. But, if the disease is on a large scale, you'd better use golf.

Wearing anti-varicose stockings with already swollen legs is not only possible, but also necessary for the purpose of prevention.If you have a problem with pulling golf on swollen legs, you should use a special device.

If the focus of inflammation is above the golf line, it is still necessary to wear them, since not only the inflamed area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe veins is required for support. But still, you should purchase a special product that acts directly on the desired area.
