THOUSANDS OF rectal exams PICTURES AND VIDEOS AT DOCTOR TUSHY

For the diagnosis of certain ailments, a rectal exam may be done. Suppositories may be inserted into the rectum as a route of administration for medicine.
Body temperature can also be taken in the rectum. Rectal temperature can be taken by inserting a mercury thermometer for 2-3 minutes, or a digital thermometer until it "beeps", not more than an inch into the rectum via the anus. Due to recent concerns related to mercury poisoning, the use of mercury thermometers is now discouraged. Normal rectal temperature generally ranges from 97.6 degrees Fahrenheit to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and is roughly one degree above oral (mouth) temperature and roughly two degrees above axillary (armpit) temperature. On average, the rectal temperature is 0.7 degrees higher than oral temperature.
