Rectal exam
I tried to do a rectal exam by myself as I have constipation
I put my finger inside up to a point that I reached a place where I had to push hard and it' was closed but on touching it opened and I could feel the ring like shape of the surface in full angle 360 degree
I like to read medical articles online and since lockdown have not Moved out of the house so I tried doing this
Did I reach the rectum ?
I read a similar question on Practo asked by someone and a dr replied it was the rectum
Please can you tell me what is that
I reached that pointwith around 2.5 to 3 inches of my finger
Thank you

Don't try for self rectal examination
If you are experiencing something unusual go for a physical consultation to a general surgeon.
Let him examine and proceed further
