Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of General Surgery and Medical Faculty of the Russian National Research Medical University Federal State Autonomous Institution of Higher Education. Pirogov Kirill Lobastov on the broadcast of the “Moscow Speaks” radio station warned about the risk of developing varicose veins during long flights. According to him, this applies to flights whose duration exceeds four hours. The specialist recommended wearing compression stockings before the trip.
“If you’ve never had a problem with veins, then you can use premium compression golf on your own. If there are any problems then you need to go to a doctor because a different class of compressions may be required there. This reduces the risk,” the doctor explained.
He also noted that 85% of the population suffers from chronic venous diseases. At the same time, 50% have only aesthetic problems.
