agree  Susan Ruusunen: Just a thought though:in the original it could also supposedly 'tuseeraten EI aristusta,..' and may be a common typo?ALSO: rectal touch - digital rectal examination tunnustelu peräsuolen kautta, peräsuolen tunnustelu, per rectum -tuseeraus (lyh. TPR)
5 mins
  -> thank you for your feedback - if EI would the sense be examine for absence of soreness?

agree  Anu Carroll: digitally examine (e.g. digital rectal or vaginal examination)
2 hrs
  -> thank you

agree  Tarja Karjalainen: Could also say "digital rectal examination" if the context is not clear from the preceding sentence, although I think the latter part of the sentence might clarify the area being examined...
