Unusual: To perform a rectal ultrasound for the described symptoms. Ask the ordering doctor what they were looking for. Colitis, rectal inflammation, maybe hemorrhoid could cause thickening on an ultrasound. Usually a digital examination & maybe sigmoidoscopy is indicated to look at the rectal lining. Just don't know what was to be expected from a rectal ultrasound, looking at the prostate?
