Weakness of the veins is a frequent disease. Roughly one man in five and one woman in four have this condition*. There can be many causes for it. Patients are often genetically predisposed, and a lack of movement – due to activities carried out mainly in a seated or standing position – can also lead to venous diseases.
Keep your veins fit.
Long periods of sitting and standing are often difficult to avoid. Nevertheless, try to walk around, jiggle your feet, get up on your toes or put your feet up whenever possible.
Wearing compression stockings regularly will improve your health and quality of life decisively.
SIGVARIS has published the brochure “How compression stockings help your veins” to create awareness about venous disorders and diseases and its consequences. This booklet explains how the circulatory system works, what happens when the venous system fails and how medical compression stockings work.
