Patient's question:
During this time, I had to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it turns out that my ovaries really have problems again. Hello, what is the role of CA-125 in ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, CA125 is a tumor marker for gynecological tumors. If it decreases, your ovarian cyst may be a chocolate cyst or a teratoma. In such cases, cysts larger than 4 cm require surgical treatment. If the marker is not elevated, it may be a simple cyst. If the simple cyst is not large, it can be treated conservatively with oral medication. The malignancy rate is generally low. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for further examination.
