Five doctors diagnosed me, each time I heard a different size of the tumor, the largest number was 6.40 by 4.20 cm, and the smallest - 3.40 by 3.10 within 1 month. Maybe it's not a tumor? The Ca125 marker is 42.40, cytology okay, I did not give birth, one miscarriage 11 years ago in the 15th week of pregnancy (dead fetus), I have never used any preventive measures. Currently, the entire lower abdomen, with the predominant pain on the right side, where the tumor is located, I am waiting for a place in the hospital for more detailed diagnostics. Laparoscopy is possible. What is this?
Ovarian cysts in women during the procreation period are most often functional in nature, their size in the cycle may change, so these differences in size are not strange, especially when we take into account the fact that you have been examined by different doctors. Laparoscopy you are asking about is a minimally invasive surgery in which the doctor introduces endoscopic instruments and a camera after making small incisions in the skin of the abdomen. This is done, for example, to remove the appendages, and to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes.
