Hello and thanks for asking the query.First you have not mentioned your age and would also like to know the details of ultrasound report about the size of the tumor and other imaging features. You have also not mentioned if the size of the tumor has increased or it's the same over two years. There are some tumor markers(Ca-125,B-ChatDoctor, LDH, Alfa-fetoprotein) which can suggest whether your tumor is benign or malignant before planning for removal of the tumor. The list of investigations is long, My advice to see a good gynecologist in your area who will advise you further tests depending on your age and USG features of your tumor, Pain, burning and incontinence could be because of UTI, Get Urine test done and if necessary get urine culture and sensitivity so that appropriate antibiotic can be started, Unusual gain in weight could be because of hypothyroidism Get your TSH tested. Pap smear is for cervical cancer and not ovarian tumor. Hope I have answered all your queries wish you good health and speedy recovery.
