THE knowledge OF certain
L facts about diseases may
often have harmful effects II
works out this way Many
people know that piles or hem
orrhoids may cause bleeding
from the recturn. so, when such
bleeding occurs, they have a
tendency 10 ignore IL. thinking
that IL Is due 10 a condition
which is in no way dangerous.
But there are conditions OF
serious nature that can cause
bleeding from the rectum and
the difference between rapid re-
covery and prolonged invalldism
may depend upon the correct
determination OF the cause for
such bleeding.
Hence, according 10 DR. Alvin
Baldwin OF Dallas, prompt and
complete investigation should be
made in all instances in which
rectal bleeding occurs. This will
give the opportunity for diScov-
ering whatever condition Is
present so tha, IL may be corr
rected before complications
occur. Furthermore in many
instances. a cancer may be dis
covered IN its early stages when
q cure is possible.
1T IS true that hemorrholds or
i piles are the usual cause for
rectal bleeding but even the
presence of hemorrholds should
not be accepted as the sole
cause for the bleeding until A
'carefu study is carried out.
This study should include
X-rays Of the lower bowel as
well as the use OF a sigmoldo-
scope wh hich is tube with
lights. which can be passed into
the rectum. enabling the phySi-
clan 10 look directly al the linz
ine membrane Of the bowel
Other causes for bleeding
from the rectum include assures
or cracking Of the tissues, tumor
growths known as polyps, ulcers,
Inflammation Of the bowel or
colitis and certain general dis
eases, such as leukenia in which
there is an increase in the num-
