Ideally a yearly sono must be done and a ca125 ( blood test ) should be done if the ovary shows any sign of cyst / enlargement. The risk depends on multiple factors - age / family history/ history of certain medications / obesity etc
Necessary precautions to be taken
Lead a healthy lifestyle
Regular checks
