Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) can lead to ovarian cancer.
But the incidence is very less, less than 1%.
So don't worry much about it.
PCOD cause hormonal imbalance. So you need to start treatment for this. If your hormones are controlled then chances of development of ovarian cancer are very less. So don't worry much, just start treatment for PCOD.
