Varicosity: Symptoms and Complications
Varicose veins often appearin women after childbirth or during menopause. In patients, the following symptoms are observed: a feeling of discomfort and heaviness in the legs, the veins are broadened, have a purple-blue color, dull pains appear in the lower abdomen. Stagnation of blood leads to complications: the formation of thrombi, which can break away from the vessel wall and penetrate the brain, heart, lungs. Trophic ulcers appear in the late stages of the disease. They do not heal for a long time, a bacterial infection can join them, as a result of which the gangrene of the limb develops.How compression tights work
The appearance of varicose veins or complications can beprevent using special pantyhose. They are also used in the postoperative period, with prolonged bed rest and high risk of blood clots. Tights from varicose produce a pressure that gradually decreases, beginning with the ankle and ending with the thigh. The material squeezes the tissue around the vein in such a way that the pressure at the bottom of the leg becomes higher than the top.Pantyhose against varicose is very important to use in the early stages of the disease.Because the vein is not able to expand, itrenews the function of blood drainage. This speeds up blood circulation, prevents blood from hiding in the veins, which prevents the formation of blood clots. There are two types of pantyhose from varicose veins. Preventive tights create a pressure of 18-25 mm Hg, therapeutic tights create a pressure of 20 to 60 mm Hg, they are selected depending on the degree of varicose veins.

Compression hosiery from varicose can be purchased at the pharmacy, in a specialized orthopedic goods store, where they can also professionally choose the correct compression class.Varicose can develop in men. For them, too, there is a compression jersey (tights and stockings), sewn in such a way that when wearing it does not cause any discomfort.Compression hosiery is recommended for wearingPregnant women, starting from the 10th week of this period. At pregnancy the risk of occurrence of varicose rises several times: the uterus presses on the bottom of the small pelvis, the blood circulation is disturbed, the blood stagnates in the venous network, expanding it.
