Hi. After reading your query and having fully understood your problem, I am of the opinion that
1) You should first stop pressurising her for sex. A woman undergoes many changes after hysterectomy. Her hormonal levels drop down so much that she would start getting all menopausal symptoms.
2) You should visit a gynaecologist and ask for hormone replacement therapy.
3) You can use topical oestrogen if she has really dry vagina and refuses because of pain.
4) You can also visit a counsellor and find out the reason for her refusal for sex. Menopause is a very traumatic period for a woman and she needs support of her partner to sail through this. Please be understanding and caring.
Hope I was able to help you in some way. Feel free to ask any query as regards to this answer.
Regards,
