A member asked:

Hi i have like a small ball.the size of a golf ball under my skin below my breast in the middle could this be from a colonoscopy thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, wrong end: A colonoscopy is performed through the rectum and examines the large intestine. A gastroscopy is performed orally to view the upper stomach and intestines. I am not sure what procedure was done, but the "golf ball" needs to be examined by a MD.
