But Stones? Seems strange!
And why should one not be? The entire process involves tedious hospital admission, injections, operation and postoperative pain. Add to it the fear of complications and it is too much to handle for most.

True! We all undertake the whole ordeal because there is no way out. If we had a choice we would run away.
It’s disheartening for any patient to know that their abdominal wall gave way spontaneously or after a surgery. A second surgery with the possibility of a failure looms large on the patient’s mind. Many however realise they have no other option but to get operated once again and they do so. Some stay in fear postponing their surgery waiting for compelling reasons.
The right approach is to overcome the fear, gain knowledge and choose correctly.

For those who are motivated, the next challenge is to decide WHAT steps to focus on. It is for them that I have written the following article.
Anus and rectum can be afflicted by diseases such as piles, fistula, fissure, rectal prolapse and cancers. The first four are common ailments but are infrequently reported by patients. They feel embarrassed to share it even with their friends and relatives. Sometimes the spouse also is not aware. This can be dangerous since a long standing bleeding in stools due to piles and fissure can lead to anemia or low iron in the body. These patients may present with weakness, breathlessness and hair loss.
The Occam’s Razor suggests that entities should not be multiplied endlessly. Although it is true in many situations, in some fields where evolution and progress is ongoing, this is not true.

Dr. R Rutledge, an American surgeon devised the procedure in 1997 and the author had the honour and privilege to learn the procedure directly from him.
