Book synopsis

Is it OK that I only poop every 2 or 3 days? Does blood on the toilet paper mean I might have cancer? How come I fart so much? Why does it hurt to poop? Do I have hemorrhoids? Is it bad that I read on the toilet? Is there anything that will make this itching go away? What should I know about anal sex? Should I have a colonoscopy? These are questions that a lot of people have but may be reluctant to ask. Bummer provides the answers.

A Colorectal Surgeon with 40 years of experience, Dr. Marcus Burnstein brings matters of anal health out of the shadows to dispel myths, enlighten, explain, and reassure. In simple, clear language, Dr. Burnstein describes how the anus works and reviews the causes, prevention, and management of common problems that affect the anus.

PRAISE FOR BUMMER

"Bummer illuminates all the issues that exist 'where the sun don't shine.' In this very informative book, Dr. Marcus Burnstein lays out various anal and colorectal problems in an understandable, easy-to-read fashion that patients (and their physicians!) will benefit from tremendously. One of our favourite sections is Dr. Burnstein's reflections on what it means to be a surgeon and how he tries to pass along that legacy to his trainees. Bummer is an important offering from one of Canada's most highly respected colorectal surgeons, and is for all those interested in what goes on with the back passage." - Dr. Ameer Farooq, MD, FRCSC, Associate Professor, Queen's University and Dr. Chad Ball, MD, FRCSC, Professor of Surgery, University of Calgary, Hosts of Cold Steel: The Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast
