A rectal is an important part of the abdominal
and genitourinary examination.
It is an important procedure for detecting not only gastrointestinal disease but disease in other pelvic organs. A doctor will conduct a rectal exam
by inserting a finger into the anus and moving up towards the rectum (
the lower, terminal segment of large bowel), gently feeling around the area as they go. It's one of the more awkward exams that can be conducted, but, it's virtually painless...although, there may possibly be slight discomfort after the fact.
If I am not wrong, that is a method of introducing medicine into a person's body (much like injections for instance).
The medicine (most likely a pill) is pushed into the rectum. This is a discomforting process but from my experience, it works. (I used to have rectal pills for fever which were effective within 10 minutes or so)
Since things usually come out of the anus, I believe that one of the requirements for this is that you do not have any bowel movements for at least half an hour after insertion of the foreign object.
