Raised CA125

Hello, 

 

just a bit of reassurance I've been told I've got a raised ca125 of 40.1 been referred fo gynaecology within the next two weeks. 
Only things that different is I've had more painful periods since having my little girl I am 26 years old.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been given a raised CA125 level. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious about what has caused this raised result. 

    Whilst a CA125 test can be used as part of the diagnostic process for ovarian cancer it's important to know, and keep in mind, that there are other conditions that can cause a raised result such as endometriosis, PID, and pregnancy. 

    I hope that your appointment brings some reassuring news. 

    Best wishes,
