How long should I wear varicose stockings every day?

Many users often ask, how long should I wear varicose vein socks every day? Do I need to wear it to sleep at night? Today, we will provide a concentrated answer to this question, hoping to be helpful to you.

This mainly depends on individual circumstances. Firstly, everyone has different purposes for buying varicose vein socks. Some people are relatively healthy and buy them for prevention. After all, industries such as teachers, nurses, flight attendants, supermarket salespersons, long-distance drivers, etc. are high-risk groups for varicose veins. Therefore, among these groups, more and more people are willing to buy socks in advance to prevent varicose veins. After all, everyone’s health awareness is generally improving~~

Generally, there are no symptoms and prevention is the main focus. When it comes to wearing varicose vein socks, they can be worn during working hours every day. For example, teachers can wear varicose vein socks during their own classes and take them off completely when there are no classes. Nurses, flight attendants, etc. are also the same. Because varicose vein socks are professional medical socks that exert pressure on the legs, some people may not adapt when they first wear them. For preventive individuals, it is recommended to wear them every other day. Everything will have an adaptation process, and once the legs have fully adapted to the pressure value of the socks, they can be worn every day.

In addition, if there are mild symptoms on the surface of the leg skin, it is necessary to wear varicose socks for prevention and auxiliary treatment. It is recommended for this group of people to wear them every day for more than 4 hours for better results, and take them off when sleeping at night.

Furthermore, for patients who have already suffered from varicose veins and have obvious symptoms, or for those with severe varicose veins after surgery, it is recommended that they wear varicose vein socks with a pressure level of two or above for auxiliary treatment and recovery treatment. They should wear them for at least 14 hours during the day and can take them off before going to bed at night. If patients who have just started wearing varicose vein socks still feel uncomfortable with the pressure value of the socks, they can wear them for 5-6 hours a day in the initial stage, and then gradually increase their daily wearing time.
