Can I get an ultrasound of my rectum?

Color ultrasound is usually available for the rectum. Rectal color ultrasound is an examination in which an ultrasound probe is inserted through the anus into the rectal area, which provides a better view of the anus, the area around the rectum, and the organs and lesions in the pelvis.

With rectal ultrasound, men can be examined for lesions in the prostate, seminal vesicle glands and anorectum. A vaginal ultrasound probe is also used which is inserted directly into the rectum so as to visualize organic changes in the intestinal wall.
