Will dermoid removal affect getting pregnant?
Can you explain the normal course of treatment for a dermoid cyst (3cm)of the ovary with someone trying to conceive.
Do dermoids effect the ovaries ability to ovulate?
Following a postmenopausal ovarian cyst with ultrasound
I am a postmenopausal woman, recently diagnosed with a tiny (sub-centimeric) ovarian cyst. I had a CA-125 test, as my mother had ovarian cancer, and the result was normal. The cyst has remained for several months. I have no pain, except a very nervous doctor! She says I need to monitor the cyst - I'm busy! How frequently should I have an ultrasound?
What is a Ca-125 test?
I had a CA-125 test due to finding a cyst. What is a CA-125 test specifically?
Thanks for the info on the CA125 blood work. Then can I be correct in saying that If the CA125 comes back normal (which mine did) then I can rule out the mass on my ovary is NOT cancerous for sure?
