Don't know if anyone else had this issue, but over the years I've had scans because of spotting and bloating etc (CA125 came in okay) with findings of polyp (removed benign), fibroid (stable) and small 8mm ovarian cyst (right ovary). When I had to go back to GP re on-going symptoms noted left ovary obscured on both previous scans. Does that mean anything? Could anything have been missed regarding the obscured ovary?
I have another ultrasound (last one was July 2023) booked for just over a week's time (2WW postmenopausal bleeding pathway). Not sure what if anything I should be asking about ovaries? I have a history of PCOS since early 20s incidentally and periods never regular. Had late menopause also (58) Am now early sixties.
Grateful for any thoughts anyone might have? GP wants to check my CA125 next week. I am generally slim, but have quite a jelly belly (look at least 5 months pregnant). Am I right in thinking I am at very low risk of ovarian cancer and that obscured ovary is likely nothing to worry about? Family history is for breast, endometrial (ovaries removed also so wouldn't then know any ovarian risk subsequent), lung, pancreatic, melanoma cancers. Some genetic cancer issues likely, but I chose not to be tested.
