	Ovarian Cyst After Menopause Article
		An ovarian cyst after menopause is not a functional cyst and most gynecologists will want to do a thorough evaluation since menopausal women should not be having ovarian cysts.
		An ovarian cyst after menopause cannot be treated with hormones in order to stimulate resolution during cyclical function and doctors usually surmise that a cyst on ovary after menopause is not related to these cycles.
		Since an ovarian cyst after menopause should not be occurring, a doctor will determine what approach to take depending on how the fluid-filled mass looks in the sonogram, the patient's age, if she is having pain and what the blood work shows.

	Ovarian Cyst Surgery
		If the ovarian cysts continue to grow instead of shrinking, and they become larger then 7 centimeters then they must be removed because there is big chance that the cysts transform into a cancer.
		Most of the ovarian cysts surgeries drain and remove the ovarian cysts, but in some cases, if cancer has appeared of if the cyst is so large that it destroyed the ovary near it, the doctors have to remove the entire ovary.
		With the help of a laparoscope the ovarian cyst surgery can be done without a major incision in the abdomen because the video camera allows the doctor to see inside the body, so he only has to do a small incision through which he inserts the surgical tools and the laparoscope.
