medical
Relating to, affecting, or located in the rectum.
Rectal is a medical term describing anything to do with the rectum, the final section of the large intestine before the anus, whether it names an area of the body, a type of examination, or a route for administering medicine. Doctors speak of rectal pain, a rectal examination, or a rectal suppository, all pointing to that specific part of the body. Because it names an anatomical location precisely, the word appears mainly in clinical rather than everyday speech.
