Featured Telehealth Handouts
Meditoons™ simplifies the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal disease. We invite you to explore our featured telehealth handouts below.
Hemorrhoids
When hemorrhoids swell, they can cause pain, bleeding, itching and soilage. Learn how to treat your hemorrhoids at home.
Anal Fissure
Simply put, a fissure is a cut in the anal canal. Because it's richly innervated with sensory pain fibers, a fissure is often very painful.
Anal Fistula
A fistula is a tract, a tunnel that begins inside the anal canal and burrows through surrounding tissues to the skin.
Constipation/Fiber Guide
The ideal bowel movement comes the moment you sit, without pain, straining or bleeding. It's completed within seconds, and is easy to clean.
Pilonidal Cyst
Pilonidal disease is an infection of the skin in the region of the 'buttock crease'. It creates a cavity (cyst) below the skin surface.
Diverticulitis
Diverticulosis is the formation of Diverticulum, or ‘pouches’ on the bowel. There are two causes: heredity and general wear and tear as we age.
