Shimla, April 5

Latest technological advancements have made the treatment of varicose veins quick and less painful.

“A wide range of options such as laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy are available for varicose veins. The procedure is less painful and takes about 30 minutes. A patient recovers quickly and can go home within 30 minutes of the procedure,” said Dr Ravil Jindal, Director, Vascular Surgery, Fortis Hospital, here today.

The doctor said laser ablation was used to treat and manage varicose veins from chronic venous diseases, while foam sclerotherapy was done to treat bulging varicose veins and spider veins. Doctors present at the press conference warned people against using non-scientific methods to treat disease.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
