You should talk with a sex therapist

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query to healthcare magic.

I have read your question carefully and understand you.

In fact you should have regular intercourse six to eight weeks after hysterectomy and not to stop it.
And is normal decrease of libido or sexuall desire after total hysterectomy because it cause decrease of female hormones that are responsible for decrease libido.
But is not normol to stop intercourse after hysterectomy .
Hence she would need to talk with you and go to a sex therapist to determine her reason ,why she doesn't want to have intercourse.

Hope I have been helpful and please feel free for further discussion.

Best regards
