Brief Answer:
Sigmoidoscopy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the information.
CT scan has ruled out anything significant.
But if you still feel there is some mass in the anorectum, a digital rectal examination and also a sigmoidoscopy may be done.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
