How To Get Rid Of Varicose Veins And Feel Confident In Your Skin Again
Avoid Restrictive Clothing

Some patients with varicose veins begin wearing tight and restrictive clothing, mistakenly believing it will have a similar effect to compression socks. But these kinds of clothes have the opposite effect. Individuals with varicose veins should avoid restrictive clothing like skinny jeans, tight elastic socks, girdles, and garters. Unlike compression socks, which are specifically designed to gently squeeze the veins without fully constricting them, tight clothes can cut off or restrict circulation through the legs. Studies have also indicated high heels lead to circulatory problems. When an individual's circulation is poor, the blood tends to pool in the extremities because there's inadequate pressure to pump it back to the heart. If an individual has varicose veins, impeding circulation with tight clothing will only make the veins worse.
