I recently had a lap removal of my left ovary, which was determined to be an Ovarian Sclerosing Stromal Tumor. Although it's benign, I'm concerned because my hormonal symptoms (weight gain, facial melasma, breast growth, pain, etc.) haven't resolved since the procedure on 9/7. Given the rarity of this tumor and its typically hormonally inactive nature, I'm unsure whether to accept and move on or pursue further investigation. Should I focus on lifestyle changes like working out, or is there a need for additional bloodwork or other tests? I had a CBC for surgery and four tumor markers, all of which were good beforehand. I'm happy to have ruled out cancer, but something still feels unresolved.
