tips[1]='What are spider veins?<br><br>Unsightly and embarrassing spider veins are the tiny relatives of varicose veins. Like varicose veins, spider veins are also caused by heredity, pregnancy, estrogen medications, prolonged standing or sitting, sedentary lifestyle, and injury to the legs.'
tips[2]='What is EVLT?<br><br>EndoVenous Laser Treatment (Ablation) is an exciting new technique that is replacing traditional vein stripping surgery.'
tips[3]='Is EVLT procedure painful?<br><br>Many patients experience little or no pain. As mentioned before, the procedure is performed under local anesthetic.'
tips[4]='Sclerotherapy<br><br>Sclerotherapy is used to treat both spider veins and certain types of varicose veins.'
tips[5]='Endovenous Foam Treatment<br><br>With this new procedure, under ultrasound guidance, a slender catheter is inserted into the saphenous vein at the knee through a tiny needle stick in the skin.'
tips[6]='What are hemorrhoids and who gets them? <br><br>Hemorrhoids are swelling in the rectum or anal area that may protrude through the anus on straining. They usually contain enlarged veins and are most common in people over the age of 50.'
tips[7]='What causes hemorrhoids?<br><br>We do not know for sure, but hemorrhoids are often found in people who either sit or stand a lot, have low fiber diets or poor bowel habits.'
tips[8]='How are hemorrhoids treated?<br><br>When treated early, hemorrhoids usually disappear within a week or two. By increasing fiber and fluids in your diet, your stool will soften thereby promoting more regular bowel movements. It also helps to eliminate excessive straining and to take warm baths.'
tips[9]='What is Infrared Coagulation?<br><br>Infrared coagulation (IRC) is the most widely used office treatment for internal hemorrhoids and is preferred over other methods because it is fast, well-tolerated by patients, and virtually problem-free.'
tips[10]='What are varicose veins?<br><br>Varicose veins are those superficial veins that have become enlarged and lost their ability to effectively carry blood back to the heart.'
tips[11]='Why do I need to treat my varicose veins?<br><br>Venous disease is a chronic and progressive condition. It only gets worse with time. Left untreated, varicose veins can cause pain, swelling, inflammation (phlebitis), skin discoloration and ulcers, spontaneous hemorrhage (bleeding) and blood clots.'
tips[12]='Ambulatory Phlebectomy<br><br>Ambulatory Phlebectomy or micro-phlebectomy is a treatment where the doctor uses tiny incisions to remove sections of varicose veins at the surface of the skin. This procedure gets rid of unsightly, bulging veins and the incisions heal with minimal scarring. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and requires the use of compression bandages or stockings afterward.'
