If you are only a little overweight, something as serious as gastric bypass surgery is undoubtedly not necessary! Instead, you can try one of Warwick’s many slimming clubs, which not only offer members support while dieting, but also provide some practical advice on what foods to eat and the best kind of exercise to shift that stubborn excess weight. Some people don’t feel comfortable in these clubs and in these cases advice about nutrition may be more helpful and can be obtained from your doctor. Public gyms and health centres also offer a wide variety of fitness classes for weight loss. Even people who are already severely overweight and very unfit, can take some kind of exercise and something low impact like walking or yoga is a good place to start.

Those who are already obese my need more support and help from health professionals, as well as their friends and family. In some cases, counselling services may be required to examine the patient’s relationship with food, while hypnotherapy and other alternative treatments have proven to be successful in dealing with compulsive over-eaters and those with other eating disorders. There are some people who will just find themselves unable to lose weight no matter what they try. Often these people will find they are struggling with other health problems that are caused by their obesity. It is these cases that may require weight loss surgery, using gastric bands or balloons to create an artificial sense of fullness, so that the patient eats less and less food and starts to lose weight naturally. These procedures are becoming more and more common in the Warwick area, and though they are seen as a last resort by doctors, are very effective for those who have run out of options.

Most people with varicose veins do not need varicose veins treatment; though, there are various treatment options available for those who find varicose veins unsightly.

Should I see my Warwick doctor?

If you have varicose veins and they are resulting in hurt or discomfort you should see your Warwick GP. There are treatments available that can help to ease any pain and make you feel more comfortable.

Your Warwick GP may refer you to a specialist for treatment in the following cases:

• One of the veins is bleeding
• One of the veins has bled before and there is a risk that it may bleed again
• You have a leg ulcer
• Your veins are causing pain and other unpleasant symptoms

If you want treatment for aesthetic reasons, for example, if you do not like the look of the veins, treatment is not usually obtainable on the NHS, but private clinics can provide treatments to help improve the look of the veins.

Treatment options for varicose veins

There are various options available varicose vein removal and the treatment path your doctor chooses will usually depend on the location, size and harshness of your veins. Treatments include:

Compression stockings

Compression stockings are tight knee-length or thigh-length socks, which are designed to improve circulation in the legs. Compression stockings are usually tighter around the ankles and they are obtainable in an assortment of diverse sizes, colours and pressures. Compression stockings can help to ease pain caused by varicose veins but it is not known whether or not they prevent veins from getting worse. Your GP will explain how and when to wear your compression stockings and will make sure that they fit properly, to ensure that they are effective. Sometimes wearing compressions stockings can cause the skin to become dry, if this is the case use emollient (moisturising cream) to moisturise your skin.

Surgery

If compression stockings do not ease the pain or you have a large varicose vein, surgery from a professional organisation such as The Private Clinic may be recommended. Surgery to remove varicose veins is preformed under general anaesthetic. The most common procedure (known as ligation and stripping) involves tying the vein off and removing it. The procedure involves making two incisions, one by the groin and one further down the leg, then passing a very thin, flexible wire through the vein and pulling it out of the bottom of the vein. The surgical procedure does not affect blood flow in the legs but it can cause temporary pain and bruising. Serious complications are very rare but they do exist and your doctor will explain all the risks associated with the procedure before you decide to go ahead with the treatment.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a treatment that involves injecting chemicals into the varicose veins to seal them closed to prevent bleeding. Sclerotherapy is usually used for people who have small or medium-sized varicose veins but a technique known as foam sclerotherapy may be used for large varicose veins. This technique involves injecting a special type of foam instead of the liquid chemical. Sclerotherapy is carried out under local anaesthetic.

Warwick Hotels

Warwick Arms Hotel: The Warwick Arms Hotel lives up to its reputation as the best lodgings in town. It?s not cheap but guests are practically unanimous in recommending it as an excellent value for its price, describing the food at the in-house restaurant as brilliant and the customer service as first rate. One quibble? The hotel’s rooms are slightly small. The hotel offers free wireless and parking, and a concierge to attend to your needs 24 hours a day. The Warwick Arms accepts American Express, Visa, Euro/MasterCard, Maestro and Switch, and reserves the right to preauthorize credit cards.

Lord Leycester Hotel: Within easy walking distance of Warwick Castle and historic Market Square, the Lord Leycester survived the devastating 17th century fire that destroyed much of the town thanks to half-meter thick walls. You must be paying a surcharge for all that history because in terms of the d�cor, room prices seem somewhat steep. The hotel provides free wi-fi and parking, and the front desk is open 24 hours a day. The Lord Leycester accepts American Express, Visa, Euro/MasterCard, Maestro and Switch, and reserves the right to preauthorize credit cards.

Warwick Guest Houses (Bed and Breakfasts)

The Charter House

In Old English ?Charterhouse? referred to a monastery.

My uncle Mic used to just go to the dentist once a year for teeth whitening, and just used home kits in between. So it came as white a shock to him to learn at his last appointment with his dentist Glasgow that he has dental caries. He looked snow white when he came home and told us. More because of his fear of dental treatments beyond the basics of teeth whitening.

He kept saying: “But I do everything they told me to do! I brush with the brush the dentist gave me!  How does this happen in one year?!” After he ranted and raved for about twenty minutes, my aunt Roda said: “Yeah, but Roger, it’s not about the size of the brush or even where it came from, it’s about what you do with it!”

So what makes Nottingham the multicultural attraction that it is, so relied upon by dentists for business?

Nottingham is Britain’s capital with the highest UK mix of cultures, languages, and diverse ethnicities that draws investment by international companies providing jobs and incomes. The city promotes a reputation of tolerance and freedom of expression so valued by people for liberating choices. It also sports scenic views around the Thames, museums such as the National Gallery and Tate, Madame Tussauds, The Tower of Nottingham and Buckingham Palace of course!

All these tributes to Nottingham are what make it the attraction what it is not just for students wishing to pursue a career in dentistry starting at the likes of King’s College Dental Institute, but also for life defining employment choices at companies either designing state-of-the-art dental technologies or practicing the most up-to-date dental treatments using these technologies. People from different cultures also choose Nottingham as the city for their dental treatment of choice, and to enjoy all that Nottingham and its multiculturalism have to offer.
