Hello,
Bleeding after sexual intercourse is quite normal and u have a History of partial hysterectomy which causes dryness of vagina so pain and bleeding is quite obvious in your case.
To avoid these symptoms you should use lubricants (e.g. coconut oil as its easily available) before sexual intercourse.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
