A member asked:
Internal hernia can it be spotted with a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The colonoscopy only can see the inside of your colon. Think of it as being able to look inside of a hose. It is not able to look inside your abdomen. Think of a hose that is in a container. By looking inside the hose, you do not see what the outside of the hose looks like as it sits inside the container.
