Treatment of hemorrhoids, and other non-malignant rectal diseases

A concise clinical handbook addressing non-malignant rectal conditions, chiefly hemorrhoids, offering practical guidance for general practitioners. It explains classification of internal and external lesions, diagnostic maneuvers including positioning, warm enemas, digital and specular examination, and techniques for reducing prolapse. The author advocates carbolic acid injection as a simple, safe office procedure, describes indications, operative steps, postoperative care, and potential complications such as marginal abscesses, and emphasizes conservative measures and patient instructions to minimize irritation. The tone is pragmatic, aiming to equip non-specialists with clear, applicable treatment rules.
