      Introduction

      I have been writing medical articles for my blog http://kennethkee.blogspot.com (A Simple Guide to Medical Condition) for the benefit of my patients since 2007.

      My purpose in writing these simple guides was for the health education of my patients.

      Health Education was also my dissertation for my Ph.D (Healthcare Administration).

      I then wrote an autobiolographical account of his journey as a medical student to family doctor on his other blog http://afamilydoctorstale.blogspot.com.

      This autobiolographical account A Family Doctor’s Tale was combined with my early A Simple Guide to Medical Conditions into a new Wordpress Blog A Family Doctor’s Tale on http://ken-med.com.

      From which many free articles from the blog was taken and put together into 600 amazon kindle books and some into Smashwords.com eBooks.

      Some people have complained that the simple guides are too simple.

      For their information they are made simple in order to educate the patients.

      The later books go into more details of medical conditions.

      The first chapter is always from my earlier blogs which unfortunately tends to have typos and spelling mistakes.

      Since 2013, I have tried to improve my spelling and writing.

      As I tried to bring you the latest information about a condition or illness by reading the latest journals both online and offline, I find that I am learning more and improving on my own medical knowledge in diagnosis and treatment for my patients.

      Just by writing all these simple guides I find that I have learned a lot from your reviews (good or bad), criticism and advice.

      I am sorry for the repetitions in these simple guides as the second chapters onwards have new information as compared to my first chapter taken from my blog.

      I also find repetition definitely help me and maybe some readers to remember the facts in the books more easily.

      I apologize if these repetitions are irritating to some readers.

      Chapter 1

      Rectal prolapse

      Just 1 week ago my sister in law consulted a doctor about a protrusion in the anus and bleeding in the feces when she passed motion for a few months,

      She was told that she had a rectal prolapse and surgery to remove the rectal prolapse.

      She decided to consult me about her medical problem.

      I examined her and found that there is a small protrusion from the anus which looked more like a prolapsed hemorrhoid rather than a rectal prolapse.

      There were 3 small protrusions from the anus rather than a whole mucosal lining of the rectum that show concentric rings of mucosa protruding through the anus.

      There was some blood on the protrusions that are typical of bleeding swollen blood vessels that are typically hemorrhoids or piles.

      Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels that are present usually at the three o’clock, seven o’clock and eleven o’clock of the anal openings.

      The protrusions in the anus of my sister-in-law appeared typically in these 3 areas.

      The appearance of the protruded swelling was not typical of rectal prolapse,

      I reassured her because hemorrhoids are easier to treat than rectal prolapse.

      I applied local anesthesia and pushed back her protrusion.

      After this I inserted a suppository that will help to shrink the hemorrhoids.

      She was told to avoid straining at her bowel movements and avoid constipation.

      In all cases of bowel movement the squatting position to pass motions is the best where passing feces is concerned.

      Regular bowel habits in the morning or at fixed times of the day will also help.

      Avoid sitting on hot seats or areas like spas.

      Drink more water and do more walking especially after food to help the digestion.

      Take more fruits, vegetables and fibers that will help to improve the bowel movement,

      Most importantly if there is bleeding a colonoscopy examination is always helpful to exclude any tumors, polyps.

      Any hemorrhoids or polyps found can be removed at the same time.
