The length of the compression stocking is selected according to the lesion site

Central socks (below knee), stockings (and thighs), pantyhose (and waist)
If the wearer only suffers from varicose veins below the knee, wear central compression stockings; If the wearer also has symptoms above the knee, long or pantyhose stockings need to be worn.
(Compression stockings are divided into small S, medium M, large L, plus XL)
Measure the three main dimensions (cm) of the wearer's legs: ankle (the thinnest part of the neck), maximum calf belly circumference and maximum thigh circumference to determine the appropriate number, and buy pantyhose according to the wearer's height and weight.
