Can a colonoscopy help detect prostate cancer

Can a colonoscopy help detect prostate cancer?
My father recently had a colonoscopy. After the colonoscopy, the doctor told him that the prostate was very firm and in good shape. How could he detect this?

The doctor sticks their finger inside the rectum when they lubricate the anus prior to the insertion of the colonoscope. At this time the doctor's finger can and should feel the prostate which is just inside the anus. At this time the doctor can determine the size and firmness of the prostate. Explain this to your dad for father's day. He'll be impressed.
