I saw a different gynecologist who suggested I should have my ovaries removed because my mother died of ovarian cancer. I tested negative for the gene but she said my risk is still higher than the general population. My regular doctor, who is on medical leave, never suggested I have my ovaries removed. I'm past menopause but I don't want surgery. There is no good screening for ovarian cancer. Maybe I should do it. Does anyone have knowledge or personal experience with my situation? Thank you.
