Answer:
If ovaries are not removed surgically, they are still present. After menopause, our
ovaries do shrink. Pre-menopause ovaries are 3-4cm, but after menopause they can be
0.5cm-1.0cm. The older we get, the smaller they become but they never disappear.
Sometimes imaging with ultrasound, MRI or CT can have a hard time identifying ovaries for a multitude of reasons, with the most common being menopausal ovaries or lots of gas in the bowel, which can hide the ovaries.
