Question 1

is 12.5 mm volume ovary normal for postmenopausal woman? transabdominal us states negative pelvic exam?

Accepted Answer

: An ultrasound estimate of ovarian volume of "12.5 mm" is consistent with the post-menopausal condition.  Transabdominal ultrasound may not show to the technician's satisfaction the actual location of the ovary, and measurements are not possilble.  What the transabdominal U/S does theoretically rule out is ovarian enlargement which might indicate possible malignancy.

Question 2

postmenopausal woman has complex ovar cyst. if need ovary removed should i have a hysterectomy due to my age of 59 gynoncologist stated ca risk is low?

Accepted Answer

Tough question: Have you had several ovarian cysts during your lifetime? Are there any problems with the uterus such as fibroids, or prolapse? Have you had multiple surgeries in the past? These are all factors to help you make a good informed decision with your gynecologist about what to do, so go talk it over and listen to their advice.

Question 3

i have a 3.4 cm ovarian cyst and am postmenopausal. it grew onehalf cm. if i have to have surgery for ovary out will i experience menopausal symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Since you are already postmenopausal, it is not likely you will change status with this surgery. Your indication for surgery has more to do with making sure the large ovary/cyst is not cancerous.

Question 4

having surgery in 2 weeks endometrium: 5.9 mm in thickness and 0.9 solid cyst on left ovary having ovaries and fallopion tubes removed do i need to get biopsy on my uterus before sugery ca 125 7.3 u/ml he4 45.3 pmol/l postmenopausal roma 0.65?

Accepted Answer

: Why don't you have hysterectomy at the same time, i.e. total hysterectomy and bilateral oopherectomy?

Question 5

during a ct exam of lumbar area due to pain in lower back and hips my ob discovered a cyst on my left ovary 34mm, it has grown 10mm in the last year. i am postmenopausal had uterine ablation and have bowel problems. what should i be asking my doc?

Accepted Answer

Need for removal: Ovarian cysts are not uncommon, but ovarian cancers can also present as cysts. Talk to your doctor if your lesion warrants removal.
Wish you good health!

Question 6

postmenapausal bleeding after 16 years and transvaginal ultrasound fails to locate one ovary?

Accepted Answer

PMP bleeding: The ovaries after menopause shrink to the size of what we call streak ovaries and often times aren't visible on ultrasound or CT scan.  While many women with menopausal bleeding just have atrophy, you have to treat it as endometrial cancer until proven otherwise.  An endometrial biopsy or D&amp;C is warranted here.

Question 7

my ovary size is 5.9cm* 2.4 cm on the 13th day of my cycle.is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian size: Asking about the size of her ovary is a little bit different and odd. The real issue is is there a follicle in that ovary. Since you are cycle day 13, that folliclecould be already quite large maybe even 22-25 mm or greater. The size of your ovary just doesn't matter-what matters is what is inside the ovary.

Question 8

what is a normal size ovary length, height, width in cm for a healthy 24 year old woman who has had a baby almost 4 years ago?

Accepted Answer

Ovary size: The normal adult ovary measures approximately 3cm - 5cm in length, 1.5cm - 3cm in width, and 0.5cm - 1.5cm in thickness; however, ovarian size is reported more often in terms of volume, or length x width x thickness x 0.523. Normal ovarian volume in the menstruating females is 5mL - 15mL, with an approximate mean of 10mL; however, measurements as high as 22mL have been reported in normal ovaries.

Question 9

what is the normal size of an ovary in centimeters?

Accepted Answer

3 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm: In a younger woman, about 3 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm.  Smaller with age, of course, and by age 70 or so, more like 1.5x1x1 cm or less  (Not a scientific answer, just my guesstimate after seeing many....)

Question 10

what is a normal size and volume of an ovary on day 3?

Accepted Answer

See below : Normal ovarian volume in the menstruating females is 5-15 cc, with an approximate mean of 10 cc; however, measurements as high as 22 cc have been reported in normal ovaries. Each weighs between 5-8 g. The volume in cc is roughly equal to the grams in weight.
