Mild Dysplasia and Ovarian Cancer
by Lissa76, Jan 31, 2004 12:00AM
Hello,
I was diagnosed with Mild dysplasia about 6 years ago(which I know little about)and was treated right away. I have had a normal pap smear each year. However, I was recently diagnosed with IBS and I have read that Ovarian Cancer can mask the symptoms of IBS so Ovarian cancer should be tested for so that it may be ruled out. Also when I went to the dermatologist I was told I had a cyst near my genital area and I was asked if my pap smear was normal and it was but I can't help but think about what I read about Ovarian Cancer.
Thank you for your time.

Pap smears don't detect ovarian cancer. I had an okay pap result when I was diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer.
Ask your gyn about a CA125 test. It isn't always reliable, but right now it is the best we have got.
