Treating Post-Thrombotic Syndrome

Wear Compression Socks

Another way to treat post-thrombotic syndrome is to wear compression socks, which are made to keep blood from pooling around the veins in the lower legs. Compression socks are available in many colors, shapes, sizes, and material. There are even flesh-colored compression socks available for individuals who feel self-conscious wearing this type of sock. Patients should wear compression socks in the morning and taken off in the evening or at bedtime. It is a popular method of treatment recommended by doctors. Doctors can order prescription-quality compression socks for patients as well, which typically apply more pressure to the legs than their drugstore or online counterparts. Doctors may also provide an intermittent pneumatic compression device to patients with post-thrombotic syndrome, which provides extra pressure on the leg veins.
