I've had ultrasounds, and the only finding is that my right ovary is larger than the other with no apparent issues. I have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine daily. I'm 26 years old and have had this issue since I was 12/13. My primary gynecologist doesn't seem concerned, but it's still highly concerning to me. What should I do?
