Elastic socks can promote venous blood return. By establishing the highest supporting pressure at the ankle and gradually reducing it along the leg, this reduced pressure can promote the venous blood return of lower limbs, effectively relieve the venous blood pressure of lower limbs and improve the pressure on venous valves, thus achieving the effect of treating varicose veins. By wearing it early and taking it off late, the condition of varicose veins can be alleviated. But varicose veins are caused by damaged venous valves, and elastic socks can only help promote venous return, but can't repair damaged venous valves to get rid of varicose veins.

Patients must know about wearing elastic socks.

Elastic socks are purchased in grades. The condition of varicose veins is divided into early, middle and late stages, and the degree of the condition is also different. Therefore, patients should choose elastic socks with appropriate pressure according to the degree of varicose veins to alleviate the condition. On the contrary, inappropriate elastic socks will cause local redness and swelling, aggravate the degree of varicose veins in the legs, and lead to further harm to the body.

Get into the habit of dressing early and taking off late. High elastic varicose socks wrap the legs too tightly, which will affect the smooth blood flow and be harmful to health. In order to increase sales, some stores advocate that "it is better to wear it when sleeping", which is irresponsible. Medicine shows that wearing elastic socks while sleeping will affect the blood supply of lower limbs, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease, so patients should develop the habit of wearing them early and taking them off late.
