bleeding two years after complete hysterectomy

I have had a hysterectomy two years ago and they removed a large tumor ( as big as a football) in the process. On the tumor there was a small part, about 3/4 inch, of a cyrus low malignancy place. I was told these rarely come back. I have been getting my six month check ups and am due for one next month. I was burning in my vagina and thinking it may be a yeast infection and  I used some monostat. I  started bleeding the next night and the burning got worse. I am going to my oncologist but can't get in to see him for a month. He is  all booked up. Going to my  regular doctor to get a CA125 blood test and a pap smear. Hoping this info will put my mind at ease til I get in to see my oncologist. Anyone out there  experience post op vaginal bleeding?  It has been two years since my surgery.I am very worried. Also, I still burn. I have heard of a disease called Vuvodynia that causes burning  but it does not mention bleeding. I am very dry in my vaginal canal. Could my inner skin be cracked from dryness and  bleed? Also, no sex or unjury.

I had a complete hysterectomy 12 years ago.  I have had vaginal bleeding with intercourse,  but now I have experienced vaginal bleeding without intercourse.  One doctor I went too said that where my cervix and vagina were cut is raw and friction from intercourse caused the bleeding.  He recommended hormones which I don't want to take because of the breast cancer in my family.  I am not understanding why he didn't go in and fix the problem.  His theory went out the window when I bleed without having intercourse.  So now what?  I am making an appointment with another dr and get a second opinion.  Have you learned by now the cause of your vaginal bleeding?  
Thank you for any information you have.
