Why choose compression stockings for fluid in your legs?

Fluid retention in the legs or ankles is often caused by reduced circulation, heat, prolonged standing or a medical cause such as venous edema.
Compression socks apply targeted pressure around the ankle and lower leg. This pressure promotes the removal of fluid and waste products, reducing swelling and a feeling of heaviness in the legs.

Our stockings are officially medically approved (MDR) , anatomically shaped and provided with a gradual compression gradient: firm around the ankle, decreasing upwards.

This makes them suitable for oedema, after an injury or long-term fluid retention, they are also comfortable enough for daily use .

Veelgestelde vragen

What could swollen ankles mean?

Swollen ankles, also known asfluid retention (edema), often indicate poor blood circulation. Especially when sitting or standing for long periods, fluid from the bloodstream sinks into the tissues. This is because the calf muscle pump—which normally pumps blood upward toward the heart—is underactive. Sometimes underlying conditions such as varicose veins, heart problems, or kidney problems are the cause.

01
What to do about swollen ankles?

The most important advice is to exercise more. Walking, toe curls, or even writing your name with your feet in the air stimulates the calf muscle pump. Compression socks also help prevent fluid retention. Seeking medical advice is recommended for persistent or painful swelling.

02
Are Herzog compression stockings suitable for daily use?
