Unfortunately, only a doctor is going to be able to answer this question, you should get a second opinion.
You need to make sure you are "involved" and "well informed" in any decisions your doctor makes, especially since you are young.
If it is determined that for some reason your ovaries need to be "removed", make sure you find out if your eggs can be "harvested" and frozen for future use.
At least if you "save" your eggs, you can still look forward to having children when the time is right. It's may not be "perfect" but it will make it possible for you to have your own children when you are ready.
Hopefully your tumors can be taken care of without the loss of your ovaries. My friend was able to conceive and have a healthy baby with only one ovary. So don't panic yet!
I wish you good luck with this, my prayers are with you.

Well its not mentioned that what the stage of the tumor..is it in intial stage or last stage..If its initial stage there is another treatment called sidha which is very good..well if it last stage the only thing to do is removing it thru surgery...

It's risky, but there are some docotrs with good enough precision that they might be willing to remove the tumor and leave the ovary intact.

Sometimes, if the tumors are small enough, they can be broken up with ultrasonic waves. Ask your doctor about this option and see if they have that technology. It's not an invasive procedure.

When it comes to scary "big" stuff like that, definately get a second opinion. But, honey, don't mess with your health. Get it taken care of.
