Post Hysterectomy it is not unusual for the contralateral ovary remaining to fail . I suggest an FSH blood test to determine the function of your ovary. The swelling breast suggests a failure of ovulation in the remaining ovary.

-- Hysterectomy is not s msndstedf procedure for this condition. Yes there is an increased risk of endometrial cancer but I would suggest a thorough curettage and if the tissue is not atypical I would use megace for three months and then repeat the evaluation. I have treated many women for this condition in this manner and have never been sorry.
