Polycystic ovary syndrome in menopause?

Polycystic ovary syndrome in menopause?

Hi all: I am menopausal and we found a couple weeks ago that my latest ultrsound showed this 3 cyst was now between uterus and the right ovary. It had shown as being on the right ovary in previous ultrasounds. I have cancelled surgery but I was wondering two things:

could cysts be pressing on the uterus and causing incontinence?

and, does anyone know if anyone can get PCOS in menopause, or something like this carries on from periods to menopause? My periods were also very heavy and I do have that hair growth going on on my face in particular since peri-menopause. I have water filled cysts going on, weight gain that is harder to take off, skin tags, sleep apena, believe it or not all signs of this.

Thanks much, as always.

hi jane. I was told i had pcos about 20 yrs ago when i couldnt conceive, i used to have 1 or 2 periods a yr. A year ago i started having periods every 18 days, put weight on, palpitations and im permanantly hot! My gp says my bloods are normal therefore im not  peri so i must not be pcos anymore. I have looked into this but there is not a lot of info out there. Maybe pcos does only last  til meno. When this horrendous episode is all over, i can get back to you! Lol i look forward to reading any replies u get. Take care.

you are so sweet to reply and I look forward to responses, the medhelp folks did tell me they put this over at the menopause place so if I hear anything, I will post whatever I hear. And you're right, not much on it, I did receive a brochure on this yesterday that is in my reading pile. I hope you feel better!
