Yea, the painful intercourse has been off and on since I've had my son, but came out more after the herbs messed my hormones up, it comes around now and then now but not everytime. I've had the issue with painful intercourse and bleeding after as long as I can remember, even before childbirth. When it happened I thought it was because I'm "tight" or something and maybe my partner was too endowed for me. It happens now every now and then, but it's not alot just a little spotting. But once when I was single after I left my son's father. I hadn't had sex or anything for over 6 months. And I masturbated with a toy and ended up pouring blood. I called my GYN and they checked out the toy (bought it at a high end adult store) and they found a tiny nick in it, so it just cut me a little inside. The doctor told me to allow warm water to enter me in the bath or shower or douche with whole milk. That fixed it. I haven't poured blood since then, but like I said sometimes spot a little after intercourse. I never thought anything of the painful intercourse or spotting until you mentioned it here as vaginal atrophy. So I'm definitely going to go get checked as soon as I can.
