A member asked:
Is there a pen sized camera or smaller that a doctor can insert into a patient just to quickly examine a bump inside, near the entrance anus? i feel it when i use vaseline sometimes.

No: A proctoscope can be used for visualization. It is a clear plastic scope used to see the first couple inches into the rectal canal.
