Wondering if anybody has experienced anything similar. I went to my GP a couple of months ago with digestive symptoms like bloating, constipation and nausea, and quite unpleasant reflux, along with unintentional weight loss. All my tests came back clear for things like inflammation etc, only my ca125 level was high. They took it again a couple of weeks later as my GP was concerned the first tests were too close to my period. In the next test the level was higher, so I was referred for an ultrasound.
The scan just showed two apparently normal cysts but there was no suggestion that those were the cause of the ca125 level, so I was referred to a gynae consultant.
I'm now just feeling a bit silly because I waited four weeks for that appointment and she seemed absolutely baffled as to why I was even there. She didn't examine me (although I'm not sure what she would have been able to do) and referred to the ca125 level as a red herring and told me to go back to my gp to get some laxatives and omeprazole prescribed to ease my symptoms.
I know it is a sort of non-specific marker and I do think it's likely something else is causing it but I honestly feel a bit crap that because my symptoms are digestive she kind of implied I shouldn't have been there. She even said "is there anything actually gynaecological I can help you with today?" which I found really irritating - It's not like I referred myself to her!
Anyway I suppose I was just wondering if anybody else had a non-gynae related / maybe a benign cause of raised ca125? Experiences? The "normal" ultrasound was reassuring, but I'm just getting so anxious between all the waits for these appointments and not really getting any answers.
