ca 125 test

[Coffeeandwinelover]

hi I had symptoms. Mostly just stomach ache. For 2 months. I had a ca 125 test done. It’s was 36.7. Should I be worried? I’m 51. Peri menopause. But still get my period.

Maybe if symptoms persist get a repeat ca125 to see if rises. Also if symptoms persist keep asking dr for ideas what it could be. Transvaginal ultrasound or better still CT scan could be informative.

So I’m reading they a peri menopausal women’s high ca 125 is 51. Don’t know how accurate rest is. And also I had really bad Covid less than a month ago. And I also read that that could affect Reading. And I have IBS. Lol. I know I need to get off google 🤦🏼‍♂️ yes I have an ultrasound January 24. Just to be sure.

Barely above normal. Mine was 680 at diagnosis and I have heard of readings in 5 digits. Ask for a repeat CA125 in 4-6 weeks and maybe an ultrasound scan to see what's going on.

my ca125 was just above 30 but I had OC stage 1a. Sometimes it’s not a good marker to know so I would suggest others tests like a scan or ultrasound just to rule OC out best of luck there is a good chance you don’t have OC so try to stay calm

What were your symptoms

[Leniko]

What does your doc advise? I was perimenopausal and felt a little more bloated than usual. An OVCA tumor was found via a transvaginal sonogram. Maybe a sonogram or a CT? Good luck!

Yes I agree with the others your value is just outside the normal range. As we don’t have another value for comparison we can’t tell if this is an upward trend or just where you sit normally. The normal range is 95% of the studied group.

I would ask for it to be repeated in > 4 weeks and if further elevated imaging.

Mine started at 1800 in March and now a wonderful 12- long may it stay there.

Keep talking to your doctors. Good getting a CA125 measurement initially.
