What strength should compression stockings have?
The strength of compression stockings is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). For general use, a compression level of 15-20 mmHg is often recommended to relieve minor swelling and discomfort. For more severe conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency or post-surgical recovery, higher compressions of 20-30 mmHg or even 30-40 mmHg may be advised. Always consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate compression strength based on individual needs and health conditions.
