Ovarian Cyst after Menopause

I am 69 years old and a cat scan that disclosed a 2cm ovarian cyst.  My GP said she would watch it but I have other symptoms such as IBS for years (with bloating and constipation)also some pain in left ovary area.  Had a base line CA 125 in 2005 and it was 6.4.  Also had urine test for horomones recently and estriol was very high but was told that is the good estrogen and not a concern. Going to see my gynecologist next week and get his opinion too.  Also had a partial intussusception of small bowel show up in CT.  Does anyone have info on either of these conditions?

I'm 63 and just had both Ovaries removed because of a cyst. The cyst was also small, they did the surgery Laproscopic-if you can have it removed that way it's alot easier. Surgery was done last week, I am doing find. Good Luck to you.
