Ovarian Calcification

[44Banny]

I'm 49 and have ongoing bloating, gas, lower abdominal pain, low back aches and tired. I don't have a Uterus.  I Had the same issues starting the end of last year and now I recently consulted a new Gyno.  I was in too much pain for an exam so was sent to Ultrasound.  The ultrasound showed a calcification on right ovary and something that starts with and F? on left ovary.  I had a prior ultrasound in September that showed a collapsed cyst on left and a small cyst on right and no mention of a calcification. I was told collapsed cyst probably caused my symptoms and it needs time to dissipate.
This new radiologist told me the other ultrasound clinic is not as thorough as this one that found the calcification.  I'm now awaiting the followup appt. with the new Doc. I had a good friend diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer at 48 with very the same symptoms and she had regular yearly exams and it was found in stage 3.
How concerned should I be and what should I be asking my new Doc?
Thanks,
DM

I agree with junamgen.  Ask the doctor to prove that it's not ovarian cancer.  

Since you're so close to the age of menopause, I wouldn't hesitate to have the ovaries removed either.  Even though it's likely a benign condition, you want a gynecological oncologist involved in any surgery because they have more training and experience.  

That said, there are probably many other possible causes for your symptoms.  You're doing the right thing to have this checked out.  Try not to worry until you know what to worry about.

Just tell your dr about your friend's story, then asking him that all these symptoms you are having were not caused by OVCA, what was the cause.  If he ask you to follow up, then you have to follow up.
I thought it maybe the best you cab do.  I hate this silent killer.

Love
