If you had a total hysterectomy, you no longer have a uterus. Go back to your gynecologist, as bleeding is not a good sign.If your vagina is dry, there are hormone-free lubricants sold over-the-counter.

if you had a hyst, you do not have a uterus. I assume you mean a dry vagina. nothing will work like hormones, talk to your doc to see if you are a candidate for vaginal estrogen. IDK why you think you are high risk for cancer, but many women are able to use the vaginal preparation. Otherwise, you can try Replens-a vaginal moisturizer. Available over the counter at any drugstore. It is not for lubrication during sex, it is for moisturizing the vaginal and can be used 2 or 3 times weekly

As noted above, hysterectomy=removal of the uterus. If you had only one or both ovaries removed, that is called oophorectomy (bilateral if both are taken). If tubes were removed as well (one or both), it is then termed a salpingoophorectomy (bilateral if both tubes and both ovaries are removed). If you had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy as you indicated above, you do not have a uterus or ovaries.In any event, if you are referring to vaginal dryness, there are over the counter lubricants and alternative supplements (herbs, etc.) you can look into without having to resort to synthetic HRT. If you share some clarification, we can probably offer some additional feedback. Good luck to you.
