A member asked:

Can a colonoscopy and endoscopy find a hernia? and if so what will the doc do if he does find one or any other type of seriously immediate problem?

Here are some ...: The occurrence of hernia here or there is common, but is usually suspected & verified by history and physical exam with inspection & skillful palpation. In practice, there is no position to use costly endoscopy/ colonoscopy at all. In fact, colonoscopy should not see any hernia but possible diverticuli. For managing intractable abdominal pain (possibly related with internal hernia), ask Doc timely
