Ovaries of women in menopause do still have some eggs, do still have some hormone production, and can still get ovarian cysts. One study showed that almost 1/5 women in menopause will be found to have an ovarian cyst. And its also important to note that while the worry of ovarian cancer is high in the women who do have cysts in menopause, the likelihood of a simple cyst in menopause being cancerous is very low. Your gyno will likely look at the size of the cyst and decide if it is something that is serious and needs surgery or needs to be just watched. Blood tests, other symptoms, sometimes other imagining tests, like CAT scans can help determine this as well, although hands down the ultrasound is the most efficient and accurate and actually the least expensive way to determine what the significance of the cyst is.
