A doctor has provided 1 answer
Venous insufficiency: Standing in place or sitting in place for prolonged periods reduces the calf muscle contraction and thus reduces the venous return to the heart leading to venous hypertension and venous stasis. Therefore, you should wear a knee length compression hose with a pressure of 20-30 mm hg.
