To the beginner Hemorrhoids is a common disease: it is said that one out of every two people suffer from it. But because it is not a matter of life and death and therefore easily overlooked, and also because many people have trouble talking about it to others, I meet many patients who have spent time and money in vain with self-devised treatments, or even worse, who have received an irretrievable damage in their anus because of mistreatment. There are misfortunate patients who mistook their cancer for hemorrhoids and found out about the truth when it was too late. I would like to explain about hemorrhoids and illnesses of the colon, then the proper treatment and prevention for these problems in the next pages.
