A member asked:
Does a normal pelvic exam rule out ovarian cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pelvic exam: A good pelvic exam by a seasoned professional can often pick up abnormalities. However, if a cancer is very small it may not be discovered in a routine pelvic exam. An ultrasound can pick up small lesions. Speak with your doctor.
