Let me put it that way. I agree with you, your symptoms denote a higher estrogen. Well, Sometimes after hysterectomy with preservation ot the ovaries, for some reason, the ovaries start to produce functiona cysts. These cycts are functional, havd self limited life span in most of the cases and could give you that symptoms. We dont have clear explanation why it arise after hysterectomy, but the disturbance of ovarian blood supply could be the cause. All what you need is just wait and see

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.
