A rectal examination during a physical may be performed to assess the health of the prostate gland in men or to check for abnormalities in the rectum and surrounding tissues. It can help detect conditions such as hemorrhoids, tumors, or signs of gastrointestinal issues. This procedure is typically brief and done as part of a comprehensive health evaluation.
