Dr. Gulnara Mazitova told how effective and useful compression stockings are for varicose veins.
Many patients suffering from varicose veins underestimate the effect of compression stockings. But in vain.
“Does compression stockings work? Works. You can compare from your own experience how often you go to the toilet with and without underwear. The lymphatic drainage effect is obvious,” says the doctor. ⠀
Moreover, the expert notes that compression stockings, unlike pills and ointments, do not just eliminate symptoms, but work much more widely. Stockings will work instead of weakened muscles, pushing blood up.
At the same time, you should not expect a miracle from compression knitwear, it will not save you from all problems at once. It is necessary to simultaneously get rid of clamps and blocks in the groin and diaphragm.
Many people are afraid of the pressure effect of knitwear – isn't it harmful? Such pressure does not have a negative effect on the state of compressed tissues. Arterial blood will still reach the tissues.

Another fear of patients is the appearance of a fungus from frequent wearing of synthetics. The expert refutes this myth: the fungus develops in the intestine due to malnutrition, but it can manifest itself anywhere. Therefore, those who are afraid of the fungus need to worry about their diet and draw up the menu more carefully.
