Q: is provera 10 mg safe to shrink post menopausal ovarian cyst?

: Provera, a progestin, will not "shrink" an ovarian cyst. If the cyst is not "complex" on the U/S report, it does not indicate possible malignancy. Ask your GYN physician for guidance, and he/she may recommend laparoscopic removal of the cyst and biopsy.
