Hemorrhoids in History
The Greeks
Hippocrates wrote some of the earliest medical descriptions of hemorrhoids. The Hippocratic Treatises, written in 460 BC, described hemorrhoids as being caused by “bile or phlegm be determined to the veins of the rectum, it heats the blood in the veins; and being gorged the inside of the gut swells outwardly, and the heads of the veins are raised up, and being at the same time bruised by the faeces passing out, and injured by the blood collected in them, they squirt out blood, most frequently along with the faeces.”

Family doctor: Could medication have caused her bleeding?
Q: Last August, my wife had a routine blood test ordered by her cardiologist. She was found to have a very high potassium level, so the doctor prescribed Kionex powder to be taken twice a week. ........The third day after the initial bleeding attack, she had another. I wasn’t there but was notified. I was told the only course of action was to operate to locate the source of the bleeding. She went into surgery later that evening. I was told that they had to do a complete colostomy.
I question the use of the Kionex powder
