If your condition has been stable for two years, then it probably won't get better by waiting -- but there is absolutely no harm in waiting.

If your gyne has been steadily enlarging, however, then it would behoove you to wait and check it out with a pediatric endocrinologist.  You would not want to have surgery on an unstable condition.
