When is the best time to wear varicose socks?

Varicose socks are usually worn at night after getting up in the morning. You don't need varicose socks at night. Because varicose veins are caused by the failure of venous valves of lower limbs, and the lower limbs can't circulate to the lower limbs in order during the day, it is necessary to put on varicose socks to generate pressure, promote blood circulation of lower limbs, and achieve the purpose of long-term treatment of varicose veins. When we lie flat at night, blood can circulate in our limbs without any external force. Therefore, patients with varicose veins do not need to wear varicose socks at night. That's why our legs are swollen after standing for one day, but not after sleeping the next day. So we don't have to sleep at night and wear varicose socks.

Varicose elastic socks are the most effective method in supportive therapy. Medical elastic socks produce gradually decreasing pressure on veins of lower limbs from bottom to top, and external pressure can offset the increase of venous pressure caused by various reasons, promote venous blood return, improve local skin malnutrition, alleviate edema, prevent ulcer formation or promote ulcer healing, gradually straighten out prominent veins of lower limbs, and relieve and treat various varicose symptoms that have appeared while controlling varicose veins.
