We would not recommend buying and wearing compression stockings yourself.Only an experienced phlebologist can professionally determine the individual size and adjust the duration of underwear wear.The case price is a single consultation.

Pregnancy: you can avoid varicose veins

Pregnancy is a physiological process, but the load on the veins of the lower extremities increases significantly.Every expectant mother should know about this.

• The second is sufficient physical activity.Walking in the fresh air and wearing the right shoes will help your blood vessels.
• Special gymnastics is mandatory for pregnant women.The different movements of the legs, the rotation from the heel to the toes do not create any special physical activity, but they help the veins.Pregnancy is a period during which sofa cushions are particularly useful.If you lie down to rest, leave your legs on the pillow - blood circulation in the limb will be more active.
• If you were familiar with varicose veins before pregnancy, see a phlebologist for additional advice.He will choose compression garments for you and show you how to wear them properly and for how long.
