What Is an Enlarged Ovary?
An enlarged ovary is a condition in which one of the female reproductive organs that produces the ova, or eggs, grows beyond its normal size. Several different diseases and conditions can cause ovaries to get larger. Most of the time, an enlarged ovary is a symptom of ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome, or ovarian cancer. Doctors usually check the shape and size of the ovaries during a woman’s yearly pelvic examination.
