He can also get a small sample of stool, and check it for occult blood (hidden blood). The exam is very quick, and as long as the Dr. is gentle, is virtually painless. -- Robin Next message: Robin: "Re: Severe Pelvic Pain" Previous message: Kate: "Need an answer re: Pap smears" In reply to: Cindy: "Anal exam" Next in thread: Anna: "Re: Anal exam" Reply: Anna: "Re: Anal exam"
