The elevation of CA125, a tumor marker that has attracted a lot of attention in the medical community, is often uneasy in women on the medical examination report. So, what should female friends do when they find that CA125 is elevated during a physical examination?
First of all, let's be clear that an elevated CA125 does not necessarily mean the presence of cancer. Although it is often associated with ovarian cancer, elevated CA125 can also occur in other conditions such as benign diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, and even transient elevations in some normal women.
Therefore, in the face of the rise of CA125, female friends do not need to panic too much. The first step should be to seek the help of a medical professional for a detailed consultation and further examination. Based on your specific situation, the doctor will combine other clinical information, such as medical history, physical examination, imaging tests, etc., to comprehensively determine the cause of CA125 elevation.
While waiting for further examinations, it is important to maintain a good mindset and lifestyle habits. Maintaining a regular schedule, a balanced diet, and proper exercise all help to strengthen the body's immunity and reduce unnecessary anxiety.
If, after a doctor's assessment, you do have a risk of ovarian or other related diseases, then the doctor will develop a plan accordingly on a case-by-case basis. These options may include surgery, medications**, follow-up observations, etc., with the goal of minimizing risk and protecting your health.
In short, in the face of the elevated CA125 found in the physical examination, we should treat it with a scientific attitude, neither panic nor carelessness. Seeking medical attention in a timely manner, following the doctor's advice, and maintaining a good lifestyle and mentality are the right ways for us to deal with this problem.
