What Causes Pain And Discomfort During Intercourse?

I have had a total hysterectomy 5 months ago. I now experience dryness (using gel regularly) and slight discomfort (like my vagina is too short) during intercourse. Afterwards there usually is some light bleeding (pinkish discharge) which stops almost immediately. I am a little worried about this, and it freaks my husband out as it seems that he is hurting me.

Using some lubricating agent would be advisable due to less secretion this happens some time common in hysterectomy patient, one need to have some good lubrication, in my opinion better to have a word with Gynecologist you would get better guide line, take care and have a nice day.
