Hi Doctor, hope you are doing well. I am asking this question for my friend. Her mom passed away due to ovarian cancer last year. What is her daughters (31 years) risk of developing cancer and what precautions can she take to reduce the risk of developing one? Is there any test available for checking the risk factors? Please guide us on this. Thanks.

A woman whose mother had ovarian cancer may have a slightly higher genetic risk, especially if other family members had related cancers. Risk does not mean certainty many live healthy lives with proper screening. A BRCA1/BRCA2 genetic test can help assess inherited risk. She should also have routine pelvic exams and ultrasounds, even if asymptomatic.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a BRCA1 & BRCA2 DELETION/DUPLICATION ANALYSIS Test or Take a CA - 125 Test Test

View allHi, 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.

I recently had a USG, which showed a 44 x 46 x 43 mm thick walled cyst with dense internal debris in the right adnexa, and the right ovary was not separately seen. The left ovary is bulky with multiple unilocular follicular cysts of approximately 14 to 16 mm, and both the left ovary and the cyst appear adherent to the uterus. The left ovary measures 38 x 34 x 36 mm with a volume of 25.8 cc. Following my doctor advice, I did a CA 125 test, which came out to 40.7 U/ml. My doctor mentioned there is nothing to worry about and suggested taking Vissane 2 g for the next six months. I am 27 years old, recently married, and not planning a family for the next two years. I would like to know if my condition is serious, whether it can lead to infertility, and what the most optimum treatment is at this moment?

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.
