Are varicose socks useful?
Varicose socks, whether on TV or on the internet, have appeared frequently in recent years, with many positive comments and many negative comments. So, are varicose socks useful?

First of all, we should discuss the causes of varicose veins. Varicose veins are common in office workers, mainly sedentary people. Vein varicosity can cause leg pain and numbness, and some of them will be itchy and unsightly. In the long run, it will bring great trouble to patients.

Varicose socks claim that they can effectively treat varicose veins as long as they are worn, and the effect is remarkable. Many consumers, excited to see this place, have bought it and tried to recover as soon as possible. But in essence, varicose socks are just a kind of high elastic socks. This kind of socks are mostly lycra and the like, usually reaching the thigh root or calf root. The principle is that the symptoms of varicose veins are not obvious by compressing superficial veins, because the elastic compression is large, there will be a feeling of thin legs and a certain aesthetic effect. Many people are convinced of this. But if we really want to treat varicose veins, we must dredge blood vessels and enhance blood circulation in order to achieve the therapeutic effect. Varicose socks, on the other hand, bring more pressure to veins, which not only can not play a good therapeutic effect, but also can lead to the aggravation of the disease. The reason why varicose socks can sell so well is mainly the hype and false propaganda of merchants.

To sum up, varicose socks have no therapeutic effect on varicose veins, and even aggravate the condition.
