On Saturday I develop a slight temp but none since however I do feel nauseous upon walking. Appetite has significantly decreased. I feel I have an infection but not too sure as discharge does smell but could be of urine. I am taking ibufren and panadol for pain relief. Advice?

Brief Answer:
Have a gynecologic exam

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

I understand your concern but I will try to help you .

Vaginal discharges with yellow color and smell(do you use enough water during the day?),feeling nauseous ,slight temperature can be due to any infection .

Did your surgeon prescribe you any Antibiotics after hysterectomy ?

Hence better is to have a gynecologic exam with vaginal swab to exclude infection.

Have Sitz baths with warm water adding betadine (polividone XXXXXXX ) three to four times per day ,until you will go to doctor.
Try to use much more fluids (especially water).

All the best and fast recovery
