Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A bulky uterus after menopause with diffusely altered echopattern is a normal variation. Since there is no focal lesion detected, there is no uterine pathology.
A complex cyst in the right ovary needs further evaluation and careful follow up to find out any change in size.
You can have an MRI of lower abdomen to find out the extent of cyst and any pelvic lymph node swelling. If there is no lymphadenopathy detectable then only monitoring of the cyst is needed by a follow up ultrasound after six months.
Right now hysterectomy is neither an indication nor is advisable.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
