Question 1

are both your ovaries the same size?

Accepted Answer

No: It would be very rare for both of your ovaries to be exactly the same size just as both of you hands and both of your feet are not the same size but are generally close.

Question 2

size of both right & left ovary at the age of 35?

Accepted Answer

Size varies: Ovarian size varies while you are still having periods. They can enlarge and decrease in size somewhat as you stage of the menstrual cycle changes. Normal sizes range from 3-5 cm.

Question 3

what does it mean for my ovaries to be different sizes?

Accepted Answer

Possible cysts: Your ovaries will not exactly be of the same size. Whether there may be a growth or cysts on your ovaries, these factors will impact size. As long as you still have ovaries, they will still be producing hormones for another 10 years and therefore, will be susceptible to having cysts. Cysts are normal to have to a certain extent. It's one of these cysts that rupture to release an egg: ovulation.

Question 4

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 5

my ovaries size is right 8.4 mm and left 17mmwhat should i do to reduce that size ?

Accepted Answer

Ovaries: Both of those ovaries are very small by what you are saying. A normal ovary is 2-3 cm not mm.  You cannot do anything to reduce the size of an actual ovary.

Question 6

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 7

what is the.nowmal.size.of ovary?

Accepted Answer

It depends: The ovary is not round but ellicptical and decreases with age. Before menopause it is approximately 1.5x1.5x3 cm.

Question 8

is an ovary 36x36x33 mm normal size?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Normal size.  Size can vary among individuals and seasons.  That would only be big in a pre-  puberty girl or very post menopausal woman.

Question 9

can an ovary change in size from month to month?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I'm not sure why you are asking this question, it seems like you had 2 imaging modalities a month apart that showed different measurements. Change in size CAN be normal especially that the ovary is 3 dimensional and the measurements we do are 2 dimensional so there might be a slight difference that is OK. That being said, it could also be abnormal, so keep an eye on it.

Question 10

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....)
