Thanks XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
Not worrisome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Non visualization of ovaries in a post menopausal woman is not worrisome. Since there is no follicle formation after menopause it becomes difficult to detect the ovaries on an ultrasound scan. It does not mean that there is a pathology involving the ovaries. Please do not worry.
Explore for other cause for sudden weight loss with the help of your physician.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
