The authors evaluated ovarian volumes by transvaginal ultrasonography at different periods after menopause. Ninety-eight postmenopausal women with an average age of 51.9 years and a one-to eight-year postmenopausal period were studied. The control group consisted of 40 women during menacme with an average age of 31.8 years, who were also submitted to transvaginal ultrasonography to evaluate ovarian volume. There was no significant difference between right and left ovarian volumes in the study groups. There was a significant decrease in measure and standard deviations of the volumes after the first year of menopause (mean volume -2.2 :t 0.9 cm 3 ) when compared to the control group (mean volume -6.3 :t 2.0 cm 3 ), followed by a slow and gradual shrinking after this phase. Decrease in ovarian volume became significant after the fourth postmenopausal year. Transvaginal ultrasonography demonstrated great importance as an investigative method of ovarian diseases in postmenopausal women.

“…82 Adnexal cysts have also recently been evaluated outside of the context of an ovarian screening program. Wolf et al, 83 prospectively examined 149 asymptomatic women aged 50 years and older. In this study, 14.8% of the women were found to have a simple cyst, and no correlation was identified between the finding of a cyst and the use of hormone replacement therapy or time since the onset of menopause.…”

Gynecologic concerns in postmenopausal women are common. Although various conditions may affect all women in this age group, the prevalence of certain disorders, and also diagnostic approaches and treatment options, may vary significantly when considering very elderly women compared with those early in the sixth decade. The focus of this chapter is to address several commonly encountered gynecologic issues in postmenopausal women, with particular attention given to aspects that must be considered when caring for women in the geriatric age group.
