Patient's question:
Does it have to be done CA125 test after ovarian cyst is found by ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
This may not be the reason for this check. Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of childbearing age. The cysts can be physiological (i.e., normal and can naturally disappear with the physiological cycle) or pathological (formed due to disease). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. You should first determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound. Currently, advanced diagnostic technologies such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examinations, and laparoscopy can detect ovarian cyst lesions at an early stage. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can still prevent this.
