Common "Bulky Ovaries" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

The ovary naturally expands during the menstrual cycle as an egg matures and prepares to be released. Another possibility for these organs to swell is the formation of cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. Ovarian cancer may be detected in later life by enlarged ovaries.
