How would you find out if have a cyst or tumor on your ovaries?

There are a few ways to find out if you have a cyst or tumor on your ovaries:

1. Pelvic exam

During a pelvic exam, your doctor will feel your ovaries to check for any abnormalities, such as a cyst or tumor.

2. Ultrasound

An ultrasound is a painless procedure that uses sound waves to create images of your ovaries. This can help your doctor see if you have a cyst or tumor.

3. Blood tests

Certain blood tests can help your doctor check for a hormone called CA-125, which can be elevated in women with ovarian cancer. However, it is important to note that an elevated CA-125 level does not necessarily mean you have ovarian cancer.

4. MRI

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a type of imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of your ovaries. This can help your doctor see if you have a cyst or tumor.

5. Biopsy

If your doctor suspects that you have a cyst or tumor on your ovaries, they may recommend a biopsy. This involves taking a small sample of tissue from your ovaries and examining it under a microscope.

It is important to see your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms, as they could be a sign of a cyst or tumor on your ovaries:

* Pelvic pain

* Bloating

* Nausea

* Vomiting

* Difficulty urinating

* Constipation

* Weight gain

* Menstrual irregularities

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, your doctor may recommend one or more of the tests listed above to determine if you have a cyst or tumor on your ovaries.
