To prevent the occurrence of all of the above symptoms, pregnant women should also use compression hosiery.

You can wear compression tights all day long, removing them if necessary and giving your legs a “rest”.

In some cases, it may be necessary to use compression tights around the clock, since with the serious development of varicose veins, the load on the veins and vessels of the lower extremities occurs even at night.
