Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I read your complaints and following are my comments:

1) The discharge you are describing could be probably due to vaginal infection with fungus. Please visit a gynecologist who will examine you and send the vaginal discharge for culture and sensitivity. Based on the sensitivity, your gynecologist will prescribe the appropriate antibiotic or antifungal for vaginal or oral route.

2) Another possibility could be small retained bits of placenta (very rare though) from your previous delivery. Afetr examination form your gynecologist, Please request for an ultrasound of uterus to rule our this possibility.

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any followup queries you have. If no more queries, please accept my answer and close this discussion.

Regards,
Dr.Mahesh Koregol
