Treatment of hemorrhoids, and other non-malignant rectal diseases

A concise handbook for physicians, this work tackles one of the most common—and often misunderstood—non‑malignant rectal ailments. Written in plain language, it lays out the essential principles for diagnosing and managing hemorrhoids, emphasizing the practical steps a general practitioner can take without resorting to extensive surgery. The author argues strongly for the use of carbolic‑acid injection, presenting it as a safe, simple alternative that many patients find more acceptable than traditional operative methods.

Beyond the core discussion of hemorrhoids, the text also touches on other benign rectal conditions, offering clear guidance on examinations and basic therapeutic techniques. By drawing on personal experience and contemporary observations, it equips clinicians with the confidence to treat these disorders effectively, reducing reliance on specialist itinerants and bringing relief to a broad range of sufferers.
