Digital Rectal ExaminationA digital (finger) rectal examination checks for problems in organs
or other structures in the pelvis and lower abdomen. During a digital rectal
examination, your doctor puts a lubricated, gloved finger of one hand into the
rectum and may use the other hand to press on the lower abdomen or pelvic
area. ByHealthwise Staff
