Should I Get A Ultrasound For Preventative Care For My Annual Gyno Exam?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
West Chester, OH

I got diagnosed with PCOS last year and have been basically doing all my own research. From my understanding, we are at an increased risk for ovarian cancer because of multiple missed periods. Should I request an ultrasound? I live in the US btw, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
