Myth: Standing on hard surfaces causes varicose veins.

Fact: Standing for long periods can make vein symptoms worse, but it doesn't cause varicose veins. The most common causes are heredity, aging, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and weakened vein valves.

If your legs ache, feel heavy, or swell after standing all day, don't assume it's just your job. It may be a sign of underlying vein disease that's treatable.

Healthy Legs Take You Further.™

Dr. John Hogg spoke with KENS 5 & Kens5.com about the importance of keeping those legs moving to stay healthy.

Your veins do more than carry blood. They play a vital role in your overall health.

Your veins work every day to return blood back to your heart, help regulate circulation, and support the body’s ability to function properly. When veins become unhealthy, the signs can show up as swelling, heaviness, fatigue, discomfort, or changes in your legs.

Healthy legs are not just about how they look. They are about how you feel, how you move, and how you live.

If your legs are sending signals, don’t ignore them. Learn what your veins are trying to tell you.

Why do my legs swell after eating salty food?
Salt pulls fluid into your tissues and keeps it there. Healthy veins move that extra fluid along without much trouble. Damaged ones don’t, so it settles in your lower legs. That’s the tight-shoes feeling by dinnertime.
Most adults should stay under 2,300 milligrams a day. The average American is closer to 3,300. If you eat out often in San Antonio, you’re probably nearer the higher number than you’d guess.

If your legs are regularly swollen, tired, or aching, or you’re seeing new varicose veins, don’t write it off as your diet, the Texas heat or getting older. Your legs are telling you something.

Sitting down for long periods of time daily can do a number on your vein health, which is why movement is so important.

What's the difference between RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) and VenaSeal? How long is the recovery time?

RFA ( uses heat to close the vein and has the strongest track record, over 95% success. VenaSeal uses a medical-grade adhesive instead of heat, which means no compression stockings afterward.

It's a good option if you can't tolerate stockings, but not everyone qualifies since some people are allergic to the adhesive and we screen for that first. . John Hogg 📸
