皆様へ、
いつもお世話になっております。もう一度、翻訳者様のお手伝いをいただければ幸いになります。

「排便の見られないこどもについてはコヨリ刺激で排便を促すが、場合によっては緩下剤の服用とかを行っています。」という文章で、「コヨリ刺激」とは何でしょうか。
I'm having trouble finding this term - I believe it is referring to manual stimulation to induce defecation, but I would like to be sure if possible.

今回もどうぞ、よろしくお願いします。

stimulation using a cotton bud/swab
Explanation:
I think this is referring to こより浣腸 (paper twist enema) and means physical stimulation of the rectum using a paper twist (made from harder paper that's more common in Japan). It's more likely that a cotton swab or thermometer would be used in the West so I think you have some leeway with here.
