Hello Anonymous,
Thank you for providing more information.
A transvaginal ultrasound is used to look at the uterus, ovaries, cervix and vagina. It is a noninvasive procedure. No camera is inserted to examine the ovaries.

To rule out a bowel problem, you will need to have a colonoscopy. A colonoscopy allows the doctor to examine your large intestine and the rectum. A special instrument called a colonoscope is used.
The colonoscope has a small camera attached to a flexible tube that can reach and examine the entire length of the colon.

Large ovarian cysts can press on the bowel and cause changes in bowel habits. The presence of an ovarian cyst can be seen on a transvaginal ultrasound.
