About This Book

A medical specialist treats inflammation of the anal and rectal canals as the principal cause of many chronic bowel disorders, arguing that such inflammation impedes evacuation, permits retained fecal matter and bacterial auto-infection, and produces systemic ill effects. The work outlines digestive and egestive physiology and the interdependence of anus, rectum, sigmoid flexure and colon, and explains mechanisms behind indigestion, gas and altered peristalsis. It reviews conditions including constipation, semi-constipation, diarrhea, rectal ballooning, hemorrhoids, abscess, fistula and anal itching, critiques common treatments, and offers practical guidance on enemas, physiological irrigation, diet and hygienic prevention for lay readers and clinicians.
