How do compression stockings help with water retention?

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

• Improvement of 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 fluid accumulation in your legs.
• Reduction of swelling: The increased pressure helps transport excess fluids away from the tissue, which can reduce swelling in your legs.
• Relief of symptoms: Many people report that wearing compression stockings reduces the feeling of heaviness in the legs and makes them feel more comfortable overall.
