MGH OB Pink Card 1.4.16 - Open Anesthesia

A rectal examination is a simple procedure in which a physician inserts a gloved finger inside the rectum to feel for any lumps or abnormalities. This test can also check for blood in the stool. If, after asking questions and examining you, it is still unclear what is causing the constipation, your doctor may need to order some tests. ................
