Secondary postpartum haemorrhage PPH

I suffered a secondary post partum haemorrhage a few weeks ago. It was two weeks after a very fuss free vaginal delivery. I had bleeding and clots the whole post partum period but I thought it was normal as it was my first child. I lost a huge amount of blood and needed a transfusion and a manual evacuation. I feel so empty now, I suppose just having a baby in there for so long and then the bleeding but now it's completely stopped and I know this sounds odd to say but because I've lost my sex drive and Im so dry down there I just feel like I don't have a uterus anymore, that I've lost something , I'm frightened I won't be able to conceive again because of the trauma my uterus went through, that I won't be able to give my baby a sibling. Has anyone gone through something similar? The consultant said it was rare and it was caused by retained birth products
