Ultrasound said I had large ovaries please help!?


I am only 23 and has a transvaginal ultrasound because I expereienced pain after sex in which the woman doing the ultrasound said everything looked fine and there werent any cysts. A few weeks later I went to my family doctor and got the results from the ultrasound which said I had two large ovaries with one being slightly larger then the other and it could be due to the time of the month and to go back at a different time in my cycle to see. Well I have to wait to do so and I have been to my gyno since but that was before i got the results from the utlrasound. My gyno did an exam adn didnt mention my ovaries feeling large. I also had my period during the utlraound. Can someone please help me what this could mean if anything? I wasnt ovulating because I was on my period so is it normal for them to just say large ovaries in the report please help! i want to ease my mind becuase I have to wait for my appt. Also do not think its pcos no other symptoms.

When they do exams, like ultrasounds- they typically measure the size of the various organs being examined. Like measurements of all kinds involving people, there is a pretty good variance in there. Some are larger than others, some smaller, some right about the same size as most. It's a judgment thing, mostly. The gynecologist has experience in palpating lots of ovaries, and since he didn't seem to feel there was a problem, you probably just happen to have ovaries a little larger than the average lady. And like most things in humans that come in pairs- one is bound to be slightly bigger than the other. We aren't exactly perfectly symmetrical, we are just close enough to look that way. The report you have is just a radiologists interpretation of things seen on the ultrasound exam. Not a diagnosis, not anything except a report on what was seen and the measurements. It's up to your gynecologist to do the interpreting, combining his exam, your symptoms and what the report says. It's all those things that will help determine what is wrong, if anything. Not just one group of measurements. If you aren't having problems at the moment, then relax some. It said they were larger, not that they saw masses or tumors, or anything that would leave them suspect a serious problem. Had they seen cysts, tumors or something in that line, the report would say so. They didn't, so you have eliminated the things that really should keep you up at night. So just stay calm and wait until you can discuss this with the doctor trained to know best, and has all the information needed to decide.

Don't panic I had to go back too and they are just double checking that is common.
