Partial hysterectomy and vaginal bleeding what can it be?

I had a partial hysterectomy around 2012. I still have ovaries. I began bleeding about 1 year or so. Dr prescribed estradiol, I was schedule to be back to see him Feb 14 to see how the medicine was affecting me. His office called and rescheduled to March 7, received a call last Thursday to March 23.  Anyway, I am concerned regarding my vaginal bleeding.

Hello, and welcome.  I don't have the answer for you, I'm sorry.  but I AM really curious about this.  I've read that in partial hysterectomies where the ovaries are left, they still produce hormones.  This is going to cause things like spotting if any tissue is left after the hysterectomy.  I really want to know what your doctor says about this if you cold come back and update us!!
