A member asked:
Can a colonoscopy show i have ovarian cancer immediately.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colonoscopy does: not examine the female ovarian system. It examines the colon (large intestine) and part of the small intestine called the cecum. An endovaginal ultrasound or salpingoscopy would be the exam you want for ovarian cancer. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
