The Gastroenterologist And His Daughter

Sandra and Wagdy are back with another season and in this episode, they break down the awkward but common world of haemorrhoids: what they actually are, why they happen, and when bleeding isn’t “just haemorrhoids.” This episode covers: 
  • What haemorrhoids actually are and why they’re normal structures (not a disease), plus the most common causes and risk factors.
  • Key symptoms vs. red flags , when bleeding is typical, and when it signals something more serious.
  • Management 101: Sandra’s 6 step tool kit including fibre, fluids, toilet habits, OTC options, and when doctors escalate to banding, injections, or surgery.
It’s time to drop the embarrassment. Haemorrhoids are common, treatable, and nothing to hide. The more we talk about them, the faster people get the help they need.
