Could post hysterectomy sex pain be cancer?

A fellow caregiver asked...

Could post hysterectomy sex pain be cancer? I often have severe pain when I have sex, I am wondering whether this could be cancer related. My parents died with cancer and it has crossed my mind. I had a hysterectomy when I was 24. I am now 42 and am now experiencing a lot of terrible pain. I have not went to the doctor because I am afraid of the news that I may get.
