Toronto, Canada's Rudd Clinic is an internationally recognized centre for the treatment of diseases of the colon and rectum. Advice from the Rudd Clinic is a concise guide to the most common colorectal problems treated by Dr. Rudd and his colleagues.

Everyone is likely to experience one or more of these problems during a lifetime, and patients unfamiliar with the conditions and the basic anatomy often find these disorders to be frightening as well as embarrassing. This timely book demystifies the subject.

Written in a style that makes even the most complex colorectal matters easy to understand, Advice from the Rudd Clinic explains the test that can help prevent colon cancer, the anatomy of the digestive tract and how it works, what to expect when visiting a general practitioner or specialist, the importance of a high fibre diet and exercise in promoting colorectal health and the diagnosis and treatment of such common problems as hemorrhoids, constipation, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, anal itch, fissures and painful swellings.

Dr. Wm Warren Rudd is a colon and rectal surgeon and the founder and director of the Rudd Clinic. During his years of practice Dr. Rudd has developed a number of new techniques for the treatment of colorectal disorders—innovative office procedures that keep people out of hospital and he has shared these techniques with doctors all over the world. In Advice from the Rudd Clinic, Dr. Rudd now shares these procedures with the general public. Dr. Rudd is also a leader in the practice of colon cancer prevention.
