Hebrew term

אםפולה רקה

Hebrew to English Other Medical (general) physical examination
On a hospitalization report there is a line referring to a rectal examination. Background: Hebrew does not seem to be the physician's mother tongue, or, the physician has poor spelling, the report has errors here and there.

The line reads:
תחורים חיצונים ללא סימני דלקת, אםפולה רקה

I don't think he is saying that he found an empty ampule. But I am clueless what the physician was trying to say. Any suggestions?

I am beginning to think that it was sloppy typing, misspelling, and that he intended to write "soft papule"
moshiachnow (asker) Jan 17, 2011:
The rest of the line says, צואה על הכפפה בצבע רגיל.
I don't know if that sheds any additional light. Then he says that occult blood tests were negative and then he goes on to discuss other unrelated matters.
Phoebe Anne Jan 17, 2011:
Would you mind to provide more information regarding this report? I have an idea of what the doctor is talking about, but I need further data in order to post a proper answer. These are external haemorrhoids with no signs of infection, but he must probably had performed a certain procedure...

Hope this will be of help.

BTW: I agree with you ... it was a sloppy typing...just like mine when I'm in a hurry and thinking about 100 different things.
