Some things that lower a woman's risk for ovarian cancer include: 1  Taking birth control pills (oral contraceptives). But this may slightly increase the risk for breast cancer and other health problems. 2  Having babies and breast-feeding. 3  Having both tubes tied (tubal ligation) or having a hysterectomy.
However, in a postmenopausal woman (or a woman with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer) then the risk goes up somewhat that the cyst or enlarged ovary might be due to ovarian cancer. No doubt it is because of this concern that your OB / GYN doctor has set you up for an transvaginal ultrasound.
