I had a elevated ca 125 around 2yrs ago...Dr acted like it wasn t a big deal and ultrasound show mass on ovary. DR told me to wait it out see what happens. Well, I have continued to have heavy bleeding and pain. But now period has lasted 8 days and bled so heavy last 3 days of last cycle it felt like a fawcett was on. Now it s been 2 weeks and I started again yesterday...very heavy...two overnight pads at a time. Is this normal for 43 yr old?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to ovarian mass, hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, polyp, adenomyosis,
Mass could be benign or malignant.
I would suggest to consult the gynecologist and undergo vaginal examination, reproductive hormone analysis, USG scan to confirm the cause.
Specific treatment will depend on the specific cause
Progesterone pill/shot and tranexaemic acid will help to reduce the bleeding.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet with iron supplements, maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Hope this may help you

Best regards
Dr.Sagar
