Maybe: An ultrasound can determine if an ovarian problem like a cyst is present if the ovaries were not removed at the time of your hysterectomy. If it is negative the possibility of surgical adhesions may be the source. Have your gyn check it out.

Get checked for: Ovarian cyst or infection. You're still young to develop cancer unless there's a strong family history of it. Take care !
