ELASTIC COMPRESSION
The use of compression stockings/socks is crucial in two ways:
- Primary prevention (prevent first apparition of varicose veins)
- Secondary Prevention (help avoid a relapse)
The design and confort of these products has considerably improved. Some open foot models are available.
NON SURGICAL-TREATMENTS of varicose veins includes :
Exercise: walking, sport, taking the stairs
Dieting: if overweight
Standing still: Avoid it unless wearing the appropriate garments (compression stockings)
Phlebotonics: used as a temporary treatment, they act locally but have no real effect on the varicose disease itself.
