How Do Compression Stockings Help with Water Retention?

Compression stockings are more than just another piece of clothing – they are a real aid in improving your quality of life. Here's how they work:

• Improving your blood circulation: Compression stockings apply targeted pressure to your legs, supporting your veins. This helps your blood flow back to the heart more efficiently and can reduce the buildup of fluid in your legs.
• Reducing swelling: The increased pressure helps transport excess fluids away from the tissue, which can reduce swelling in your legs.
• Relieving discomfort: Many people report that wearing compression stockings lessens the feeling of heaviness in their legs and makes them feel more comfortable overall.
