Will wearing compression stockings every day help with Grade 2 varicose veins?
In the grading of varicose veins, Grade II signifies that there are obvious superficial vein tortuosity and dilation, and some may even clump together, but without edema and pigmentation. For patients with such newly developed varicose veins, persisting in wearing compression stockings can possibly lead to improvement. The main principle here is that in patients with newly developed Grade II varicose veins, the damage to the venous valves may not be severe, but rather due to venous pressure causing vein dilation, resulting in the valves not closing tightly. In such cases, if we apply external force to ensure the valves close tightly, preventing further vascular dilation and reducing the force of damage to the valves, then there is a possibility of recovery to a certain extent. If the condition has been present for a longer time, and this valvular dilation has already resulted in long-term effects, wearing compression stockings might only help in reducing the potential for further progression, but it is unlikely to improve existing varicose veins significantly.
