Q: Adnexal Mass

Hi there. I'm 37 years old & had a pap smear & pelvic exam on Monday. The physician's asst. who did my pelvic said she felt something on/near my left ovary & is sending me for an ultrasound tomorrow. I'm just wondering if anybody has ever heard of this & if it could possibly lead to ovarian cancer. I don't have symptoms of anything and have NEVER had an abnormal pap, pelvic or even a cyst on an ovary. I'm kinda scared. We don't have any kids yet because we just got married 3 years ago & were going to try this fall. Sad

If anybody has experience with an "adnexal mass" please let me know. Thanks! Smile
