"Current medical status: Abdominal
discomfort (bloating, pain in left pelvis
and under rib-cage, frequent urination,
incomplete elimination, acid stomach
accompanied by over-all itching sensation,
nausea and dizziness, especially prior to
ovulation). Symptoms are worsening each
month and have occurred for over a year. A
transvaginal ultrasound results: "left
ovary is enlarged measuring 5 x 3.9 x 3.2
cm. A 4.1 x 3.2 x 2.7 echogenic lesion
occupies most of left ovary. The lesion
completely fills in with echoes and may
represent a solid mass. Could represent a
solid ovarian neoplasm or a large
hemorrhagic cyst filled with clot." ca-125
results 400u/ml"
According to the ultrasound report and the
Ca-125 result, it seems that you are
experiencing some type of ovarian tumor.
Ca-125 is a tumor marker for ovarian
cancer but I can't make conclusions
according only to the result (400 U/ml)
without knowing the referent values of
Ca-125. Every laboratory has its own
referent values. You may need surgical
intervention to remove the tumor together
(with the affected ovary). Call your
gynecologist immediately!!!
