Ovarian cyst post menopause?

Depends: Depends on the size and appearance. Though no radiographic test is perfect. The only way to know what it is for sure is to take it out. See a gyn to determine if this is necessary.

Followup ultrasound: More information is needed, but the generic answer is: 1. If the cysts is simple and without symptoms, then a repeat ultrasound in 6-8 weeks is indicated 2. If the cyst is "complex" and/or symptomatic, then a laparoscopy to remove the ovary is indicated i hope this helps!
