Ask A Doctor
I have a baseball size mass in or ony left ovary.. How common is this? Also, my doctor says a 15 percent chance it is cancer. I have a phobia of all medications and am terrified to be put to sleep.. Any suggestions ?
Reply by Keita Sakon, MD
I have no idea how he came up with that "15%". Predicting weather an ovarian mass is malignant (cancer) is not is very complicated and unpredicatable, I stay away from giving percentages.
If it looks suspicious enough of being cancerous and if it is not going away, I would lean towards removing it, but it's very hard to say with very limited information you are giving me. It may help to go see a different gyn to get a second opinion. Take copies of ultrasound, bloodwork and whatever you have had done.
The responses in the "Ask a Doctor" articles are provided by M.D./Surgeons with credentials in their linked profiles. The HysterSisters.com staff thanks the doctors for their participation and reminds all readers to discuss their medical concerns with their personal physicians for specific information about their health choices, as this is in no way intended to take the place of members consulting with their own physicians.
