Reason for concern?
Drar All, i'm 55, i've had à fibroid in my uterus for à number of yrs. Was taken into hospital for concussion, and when they looked into That I Said I'd had stomache Just before I passed out. So they did à ct on My abdomen and it turnés out that both ovaries are enlarged. They did another ct with contrast, and i've been referera to gyn and will receive appt soon. Strange that BOTH ovaries are enlarged, and I'm becoming slightly worried, haven't seen gyno in 3 yrs..... Are there lots of reasons for benign enlargement of both ovaries?

Hello,
Enlargement of ovaries can be found in cysts, benign or malignant growths , endometriosis, benign tumors and ovarian cancer. You need to consult a gynecologist and get tests like 2 hr GTT, serum androgen and testosterone levels, LH-FSH ratio, prolactin levels, TSH levels,17-hydroxyprogesterone levels and 3D ultrasound done.

Thanks for reply. Med dr referred me to gyno and Said that he left it to them to look into. However, ovaries large! I find it stranger that they would become larger post menopause. Why would both become larger? Is there such à thing as "fatty ovaries"?
