.
WHAT IS VARICOSE SOCKS?
– Varicose vein socks are a type of medical socks that are most often used by patients with clot-related congestion in the veins (deep vein thrombosis) or balls vascular insufficiency and varicose veins.
– Varicose socks apply a certain amount of pressure to the leg at certain points and due to the textile material, weaving technique and elastic structures used during their production.
– When we stand still for a long time or sit down for a long time, the point where the balls have the highest intravascular blood pressure due to the effect of gravity is the ankle. Therefore, varicose stockings exert pressure on the leg in such a way that the highest degree of pressure is in the ankle region and gradually decreases as it rises from the ankle upwards.
.
WHAT ARE THE USES OF VARICOSE SOCKS?
– Varicose stockings are mainly used to improve blood circulation in the veins of the legs, reduce complaints such as leg pain and swelling, and improve the patient’s quality of life. It is recommended that occupational groups such as teachers, waiters, police, barbers who require long-term standing, and desk workers who work long hours wear varicose socks in their daily lives.
– Varicose stockings have their beneficial effect by reducing increased blood pressure (venous hypertension) due to blockage or insufficiency of the veins in the legs and veins. Thus, the return of low-oxygen-content blood from the veins of the legs to the heart is facilitated.

– Finally, varicose stockings, balls also contribute to the prevention of wound formation on the ankle due to vascular insufficiency and varicose veins and the healing of the existing varicose wound.
.
HOW TO CHOOSE VARICOSE STOCKINGS?
– Varicose stockings must necessarily be prescribed to the patient specifically and at the appropriate pressure after a doctor’s examination. The patient’s leg should be measured at 2 or 3 different points and the patient should be given socks with the appropriate number. The most commonly used type of varicose socks in daily practice is a low-knee and medium-pressure sock.
– For reasons such as not taking the leg size properly or not explaining enough when giving varicose socks to the patient, sometimes patients cannot use varicose socks effectively. This, in turn, creates a negative prejudice among the population varicose stockings.
– Also common is the idea that varicose stockings cause a bad image. Today, comfortable, colorful and stylish socks are produced by medical manufacturers that women patients can use in harmony with their daily clothes.
.
THE MOST FAVORABLE TIMES FOR VARICOSE SOCKS ARE THE WINTER MONTHS
– As a result, the use of varicose stockings in the summer is difficult for patients due to the high air temperature. The winter months are a period when patients can use varicose stockings more comfortably and comfortably with a decrease in air temperature. A suitable varicose sock, prescribed by a varicose operator doctor in Turkey and given specifically to the international patient, will significantly contribute to the quality of life.
