[|Human|] I am a 57 year old male, good physical condition with no prior history of disease of any kind. I recently had a physical and my blood work was great. I have been having pain in my rectum deeper up inside than I can feel with my finger, it is past the prostate, no bleeding. I was wondering what kind of test can be performed to evaluate my condition?
[|AI|]  Thank you for writing in Chat Doctor, ideally for a pain deep, which is cramps, in the rectum you should meet a surgeon and get a digital rectal examination done with photocopy. If he finds no pathology or suspects something further deep inside a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy may be done. Also you must be able to describe the kind of pain, whether its intermittented spasmodic or continuous deep pain and the severity so that the surgeon can come to a diagnosis. Thank you
