Half of all German citizens experience hemorrhoid problems at least once in their lives. However, the threshold for most affected individuals to seek medical help is very high.

In his guide "Help with Hemorrhoids," Dr. Wilhelm Brühl provides a clear and understandable explanation of more than twenty intestinal diseases and their causes for the layperson. He describes ways to cope with the discomfort, either independently or with medical assistance.

A healthy diet and proper anal hygiene can successfully prevent many digestive disorders. Simple gymnastic exercises can support bowel activity in cases of constipation. Additionally, massages performed in the morning before getting up or while on the toilet can stimulate the urge to defecate.

"Help with Hemorrhoids" is well-structured and includes a glossary that thoroughly explains the most important terms related to intestinal diseases.
