  • Hello Anna98

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns at the moment. I hope that you've been able to speak with your GP by now and that they've been able to give you some reassurance about things. 

    A CA125 test result can be raised by lots of conditions including endometriosis, fibroids, cancer, and even pregnancy. As your GP has said, an adnexal cyst is a cyst that develops on the tissues close to the uterus. 

    It's understandable that you're feeling so fatigued if you're struggling with anaemia as well. Hopefully the GP will be able to help with getting this under control as well. 

    If you've spoken with your GP and you're still worried then please do give our team of nurses a call to chat things through with them. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support that they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope that things settle and improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
