Patient's question:
Female, 39 years old, with two children, the younger one is 3.5 years old. Both are postpartum. On October 22, 2018, during a health check-up, the reference value of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is <6.5, but my test result was 8.74. Additionally, in terms of gynecological aspects, the external genitalia, vagina, uterus, and adnexa were all normal, except for cervical hypertrophy and multiple glandular cysts. Please help the doctor speculate on the possible reasons.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the thorough examination, it is more likely caused by gynecological inflammation or other gynecological conditions, rather than necessarily being a reason for cancer. Therefore, there is no need to be overly anxious. I suggest you visit a regular public hospital and make an appointment with the gynecology department for a comprehensive and detailed examination. If there are no major issues, further examinations should be conducted to rule out the possibility of other inflammatory conditions. Wishing you good health!
