Question 1

I have some questions regarding the CA 125 test. I would like to know if it is used only to diagnose ovarian cancer, or if it can indicate other conditions as well. Are there any specific instructions to follow before taking this test? Also, if the blood is drawn on the third day of the menstrual period, will it affect the results? I have my test report and would like help interpreting what it indicates.

Question 2

Hi, what is the meaning of free fluid positive in the POD? Is it harmful and can it affect my chances of getting pregnant? My report also mentions that my right ovary has a complex cyst with dense echoes measuring 35 by 34 millimeters. What does this mean? Please reply as I am feeling very stressed.

Question 3

I have a chocolate cyst in my left ovary measuring 5.5 cm, which has been present for the past 6 months. My periods are regular and normal, and my CA 125 cancer test is also normal. However, the cyst is complex. Could you please advise if there is any chance that this cyst could become cancerous?

My CA125 report result is 44.8. I also had a right ovarian cyst in 2018. What should I do now? Please suggest. I am uploading my report. Please acknowledge.

CA125 is mildly elevated and can be due to the ovarian cyst, especially if it is complex. It is not always a sign of cancer. Regular follow up and ultrasound are advised to watch for changes in the cyst.
