I am concerned about my latest abdominal ultrasound results. My mother and grandmother had breast cancer before age 50 but no history of ovarian cancer in my family. I am 36 years old with 3 kids. My mother was screened from the BRCA genes but no mutations were found.
I had a trans-vaginal ultrasound done about a year ago and my largest ovary was 9.8ml with a functional cyst present. The cyst later resolved on a follow-up ultrasound. I had some abdominal pain recently so my doctor sent me for a trans-abdominal ultrasound. The pain went away but my u/s results came back that one of my ovaries was 16ml ! The radiologist did not make any comments about a cysts or anything suspicious. No follow-up was indicated in the report. My family doctor is not concerned at all. He said there is nothing to worry about because nothing suspicious was seen and he is not concerned about the size of the ovary. The only reason I even know the size is that I asked him to see the report.
I may sound crazy but shouldn't this be something to be concerned about? How can your ovary change in size without something being wrong? My doctor told me to stop worrying and move on. Should I listen to him or should I try to pursue this further?
