I had my annual checkup 2 days ago, and my doctor told me that my right ovary is 2-3 times the size it should be. I felt no pain during the examination. I have had spontaneous sharp pains in my ovaries for the last couple months but didn't think much of it. I have also felt extremely bloated for the last few weeks, but just thought that was due to lack of exercise. I just found out yesterday that my great grandmother had ovarian cancer but nobody else in the family has had it. I'm only 30 years old. I'm scared. What questions should I ask the ultrasound technician (or dr, if I get to see him) tomorrow. Thank you so much

me again...back from the sonogram
So the ultrasound technician today was unable to give me any details other than confirming that my right ovary is at least twice as big as it should be. My next appointment isn't until March 29th, so I play the waiting game until then (I am not a patient person). Has anyone experienced an enlarged ovary before? If so, what was your diagnosis and treatment? Thanks again -
was it just a swollen ovary or is it a cyst?Comment
