Support Stockings For Varicose Veins
Treatments for varicose veins have improved and become more high tech, using laser techniques, over the past few years. Going the route of surgery, injections and laser treatments are invasive and usually reserved for more severe cases of varicose veins, or cases that have other symptoms accompanying them. For more mild cases and even prevention, an easy and cost effective solution is support stockings for varicose veins.
The following suggestions can be helpful in preventing new varicose and spider veins from appearing and can help ease symptoms from ones you already have. Wearing sunscreen on your face to prevent spider veins on the nose or cheeks. Exercising your legs with walking, running or leg strength training. Exercising improves the leg strength, vein strength and circulation. Controlling your weight since extra weight puts extra pressure on the veins. Also, eating a diet low in salt to avoid swelling and high in fiber to avoid constipation will help. When resting or sitting, don't cross your legs and keep them elevated whenever possible. Try not to stand or sit for extended periods of time. If standing is required, shift your weight from leg to leg periodically. And if sitting is required, make sure to get up and take a walk every 30 minutes. Avoid tight clothing that is restrictive on the legs, waist or groin areas. Wearing elastic support stockings.
Sporting support stockings for varicose veins does not have to be embarrassing or a hindrance to your dress style. There are support hose that look and feel just like regular nylons. These can go a long way toward prevention of varicose veins or making symptoms of existing varicose veins lessen. Varicose veins are sometimes a symptom of pregnancy, in which case, you may wear graduated maternity support hose, with your doctor's approval.
For more severe cases of varicose veins, you can get special compression support stockings prescribed by your doctor. Compression stockings are elastic and effective at squeezing your legs and veins, preventing blood from pooling in the veins. These special support stockings for varicose veins can help heal skin sores and irritations. They also help in treating the pain and swelling associated with varicose veins. Some cases require that a patient wears compression stockings every day for the rest of their life.
