rektálisan

Rektalis is a Latin term that translates to "rectal" in English. It refers to anything relating to, occurring in, or administered through the rectum. The rectum is the final section of the large intestine, terminating at the anus.

In medical contexts, "rektalis" is often used to describe a route of administration for medications. Rectal administration, also known as the rectal route, involves inserting medication into the rectum, typically in the form of a suppository or enema. This method can be used when oral intake is not possible or desirable, such as in cases of vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or when a rapid local effect is needed in the rectal area. Medications administered rectally are absorbed into the bloodstream through the rectal mucosa.

The term can also refer to anatomical structures or conditions associated with the rectum. For example, "rectalis prolapse" refers to a condition where the rectum protrudes through the anus. Similarly, medical examinations of the rectum are often referred to as rectal examinations. The term is primarily found in medical literature and scientific texts.
