Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to low estrogen in the body.

Low estrogen is caused by the hysterectomy intervention.

Low estrogen cause dryness everywhere in the body, especially dry eyes and dry skin.

Lubrificants can help to treat the vaginal dryness.

You should not be worried about the pinkish discharge. It is caused by bleeding due to dryness in the vaginal area. It is a very common symptom

I would also recommend oral therapy, which can help treat the systemic symptoms.

Oral estrogen therapy will help you with the dryness. It has also other benefits such as lowering the risk of osteoporosis.

This is a prescribed therapy, so you should consult your gynecologist before taking it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
