evaluation:\u00a0<\/b>A doctor may assess circulation and perform a venous ultrasound to confirm venous reflux.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Compression level required:\u00a0<\/b>The severity of

\/>Step 1: Measure the Ankle<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">The ankle is measured at its\u00a0<b>narrowest point just above the ankle bones<\/b>.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">This measurement is the most important because compression stockings apply the\u00a0<b>highest pressure at the ankle<\/b>, which forms the starting point for the compression gradient.<\/li><\/ul><p><b><br \/>Step 2: Measure the Calf<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">The calf should be measured at the\u00a0<b>widest part of the muscle<\/b>.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">This ensures the stocking fits snugly without excessive tightness and maintains the correct pressure gradient from ankle to calf.<\/li><\/ul><p><b><br \/>Step 3: Measure the Leg Length<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">For\u00a0<b>below-knee stockings<\/b>, measure from the floor to about 2 fingerbreadths below the knee crease.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">For\u00a0<b>thigh-high stockings<\/b>, measure from the floor to the upper thigh where the stocking will end.<\/li><\/ul><p>Incorrect sizing may lead to\u00a0<b>reduced effectiveness, discomfort or skin irritation<\/b>, which is why professional fitting is often
