So, this is awkward, but very important. I went to my annual gynocologist exam and my doctor refused to give me a birth control pill script until after I had an ultrasound. Why? Although the pills may help prevent ovarian cancer, there is also the possibility that the hormones in the pills can cause any pre-existing tumors to grow. Remember ladies, Pap smears only detect cervical cancer. Pap smears DO NOT warn you about ovarian or uterus cancers. I have heard of 15 year old girls having ovarian cancer with no family history. Please give yourself the occasional gift of a transvaginal ultrasound.
