This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a cyst in my left ovary and a borderline tumor in my right ovary. My doctor advised surgical removal of both ovaries. I have no child, and I am in my thirties.

What should I do?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

I went through your reports (the attachments were removed to protect the patient's identity).

Your CA 125 (cancer antigen 125) in the blood is very high. It is a tumor marker. So, I suggest you consult an oncologist in your state. Do not delay this. It is better to take precautions. You can consider IVF (in vitro fertilization) to have a baby before going for surgery.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
