subject: Ovarian Cyst After The Menopause - What You Must Know And Do To Become Free Again [print this page] Yes, although very hard to believe at first, you can develop a cyst even a few years after your menopause. Ovarian cysts are usually linked to menstruation and after you have reached the menopause they can still develop. This means that the lumps were already there most probably a few years back and they are turning into proper cysts now. Therefore if you feel that you may have one, it is essential that you consult your doctor for further assessment.
However, rest assured. Developing a cyst after the menopause does not mean that it is cancerous. In fact, most cysts are benign. This said, never ignore the signs that your body gives out and pay a visit to your surgery to make sure you get a proper diagnosis.
As you are probably already aware, common or functional cysts usually disappear on their own but it may possible that the cysts that developed on your ovary after your menopause was already there and may not contain any fluid. Indeed, a cyst that develops at a later age is known as a complex ovarian cyst and may be the result of the complications from a functional cyst.
Surgery and hormonal therapy may be the treatments proposed to you. Whilst these treatments are effective and get rid of most cysts straight away, the long term results are not good.
More and more women are now turning to different cures in order to free themselves from this painful condition. The most popular treatment remains the natural approach that targets the root causes of the cysts to make sure that they do not come back.
A step by step method and plan can help you achieve maximum benefits and ensure that existing cysts will shrink within weeks and not come back at a later stage in your life.
