Hon, only your doctor can answer these questions. Call him/her up and ask or leave a message for him/her to call you back. Then, while you are waiting for the call, write down every question you have so they are handy when he/she calls back.





Good luck.
Reply:The normal values for a CA-125 depend on the lab running the test. In general, levels above 35 U/ml are considered abnormal.


In pre-menopausal women, the test is less reliable as values are often elevated due to a number of non-cancerous causes, and a value above 35 is not necessarily a cause for concern.


Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by mild obesity, irregular menses or amenorrhea, and signs of androgen excess (hirsutism, acne). Typically, the ovaries contain multiple cysts. Diagnosis is by pregnancy testing, hormone level measurement, and imaging to exclude a virilizing tumor. Treatment is symptomatic.


Complications of PCOS:-


* Sterility


* Obesity-related conditions, like high blood pressure and diabetes


* Increased the risk of endometrial cancer -- this is because the endometrium (lining of the uterine wall that sheds when you menstruate) can get thicker and thicker (hyperplasia) due to the lack of ovulation


* Possible increased risk of breast cancer
