I guess I was too stoned to put two and two together, and math isn't my forte even when Iâm sober, so it wasn't until I pulled up to the run-down Craftsman house, smack-dab in the middle of Hollywood, that it hit me that I was interviewing to actually work at a Medical Marijuana Dispensary. I was nervous.
The average size of ovaries is about the size of a Greek olive. One can determine the normal size of an ovary on ultrasound. Let us have a look at the ovary size according to different measurement scales. In cm. 3 cm x 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm.
A normal ovary is about 2 x 3 cm (almond sized). A follicular ovarian cyst, if the egg is not ejected and the amount of fluid continues to increase, can reach sizes of up to 10 cm. Fortunately most follicular cysts are smaller and will resolve within one to three months. If the size is large (eg greater than 8 cm) the heavy cyst can prompt the ovary to twist on itself like a heavy flower on a too fragile stalk. This twisting (âovarian torsionâ) causes intense pain as it cuts off the blood supply to the ovary.
