Compression stockings reduce pain and heaviness in your limbs from fat disorders like lipedema, they decrease swelling in the fat throughout the limb. Medical compression also reduces the rate fat cells grow and prevent fat disorders from becoming more serious. Compression can be one of the best treatments for lipedema or fat caused by lymphatic diseases.<\/p>\n

Lipedema<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lipedema is a loose connective tissue disease that primarily affects females. It is characterized by abnormal fat metabolism and accumulation of enlarged fat cells with disproportionate distribution of fat on the body. The fat tissue is usually painful, bruises easily and may have palpable nodules within it and the person may have hypermobile joints. The fatty soft tissue is loose and tends to form a \u201cshelf\u201d or \u201ccuff\u201d at the wrists or ankles. There is also poor connective tissue support for the both the soft tissue and the vasculature, which can lead to chronic lymphedema<\/a> and Chronic Venous Disease (CVD)<\/a>. Fortunately, Medical Compression Stockings (MCS) can help provide structure and support for the soft tissues and vasculature, helping to reduce symptoms and disease progression.<\/p>\n

Lipedema is poorly understood and grossly under recognized by the medical community and general public. Often mistaken as obesity, women who have lipedema<\/a> are often blamed for the problem and told to lose weight through diet and exercise. However, diet and exercise will not reduce the fat of lipedema, although it can help the person feel better and minimize the progression and complications. Complications of untreated lipedema include CVD, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)<\/a>, and lipolymphedema. MCS are an important intervention in each of these diseases.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lipedema and Deep Vein Thrombosis<\/h4>\n

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is commonly referred to as a blood clot. Chances are you know someone who has had a blood clot, or you have had one yourself. A DVT can happen to anyone at any time and affects millions of people worldwide. If left untreated, it may cause serious complications or even death. Almost 17% of women with Stage 3 lipedema reported a history of a blood clot (Herbst, 2015). Wearing MCS and staying active is an important step in reducing your risk of a DVT.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
