Yes, compression stockings are one of the most effective conservative treatments for varicose vein symptoms and they do significantly reduce both swelling and pain. They work by applying graduated pressure on the leg â tighter at the ankle and progressively lighter higher up â which helps push blood upward against gravity and reduces the pooling that causes swelling and heaviness. For someone working night shifts with prolonged periods of standing or sitting, compression stockings are particularly beneficial and are the standard first recommended step in managing varicose veins.
Next Steps
Use graduated compression stockings (Class II, typically 20-30 mmHg) â wear them from the start of your shift. When resting, elevate your legs above heart level to help drain the pooled blood. Avoid standing in one position for long stretches â take short walking breaks. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
