High Ca 125

I have been having 2-3 weeks of abdo symptoms, bloating, tiredness, change in bowel habits. My Ca125 has come back 314.5. I understand there are non malignant causes for ca125 to be high but wondered if anyone has experience of them being this high and it not being something sinister? I have been referred for ultrasound urgently and gynae as well as asked to do the bowel screening FIT test. I am 37 and normally fit and well.

The forums I have seen have all been people with high ca125 but not as high as that which is making me worry more this is correlating to potentially how serious this is.

Any experiences of this would be appreciated.

  • Good morning , about 5 years ago i had very heavy periods and pain was unbearable.. ca 125 was done and results came back at 425 i nearly passed out when the doctor telephoned me to say i was referred to hospital on 2weeks . Had an ultrasound and my lining was 19 mm so then a endometrial biopsy was done. That came back clear then had the merina coil was fitted and ca 125 was done again and it had reduced down to a 100.. the waiting is the worst my biggest problem was the internet.. hopefully you get ur appointment through soon

  • Thank you for your reply. Did they ever say what they think caused it? I ended up praying for a private scan yesterday but results have been sent to GP and with bank hol will have to wait till Tuesday. It’s so awful waiting as you say!!
