How do you prevent thrombosis?
The risk of thrombosis in your leg increases when you're less active, for example during long flights, pregnancy, or when your leg is in a cast. In these situations, the calf muscle pump's function is minimal or absent. That's why it's crucial to stay as active as possible. Can't you walk, like on an airplane? Try writing your name in the air with your toes or move your feet rhythmically by alternating your toes towards your knee and back again.
If you experience symptoms like painful, swollen, and often red legs, be sure to contact your doctor.
Treating thrombosis
The treatment of thrombosis often involves prescribing blood thinners and wearing compression socks daily for at least a year. Herzog Pro Compression Socks meet all official requirements for support stockings, providing over 30 mmHg of pressure at the ankle and 23 mmHg below the knee.
These socks are measured at six points on the leg, ensuring a perfect fit for every leg, regardless of shape and size—an essential factor for optimal effectiveness. Herzog Pro Compression Socks offer a modern look and exceptional comfort, featuring optimal thermal regulation thanks to skin-friendly microfibers. They have been specially developed for sports applications, backed by medical expertise.
How do you prevent recurrence of thrombosis?
After the first two years, patients can discontinue wearing compression socks. However, the general advice is to continue with a milder compression than during the initial two years. For this purpose, we highly recommend Herzog Support Compression Socks, as they help prevent recurring issues and maintain your leg health.

"The treatment of venous thrombosis should be discussed with the treating physician, specialized bandagist or skin therapist. Therapeutic elastic socks, also known as compression stockings, can make an important contribution to this. They ensure that the accumulated fluid (edema) is drained more quickly."
