Patient's question:
10th health check, CA199 and CA125 were both high. There were ovarian cysts. Today, re-examination showed CA199 and CA125 levels dropped, but they are still above the normal range. CA125 is higher than last month. An additional CT scan was done, showing small cysts on the liver, otherwise everything is normal. CA199 has dropped. What treatment methods should be used?Doctor's answer:
Tumor markers serve as a screening for tumors, but they do not have specific significance and require correlation with clinical diagnosis and other careful examinations. Moreover, many benign diseases can also exhibit elevated levels. If there are no discomforts in the body, it may not be necessary to undergo testing, and periodic reexaminations can suffice. For patients with ovarian cysts, they can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while receiving conventional medical treatment. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or fullness in daily diet and to never overeat.
