General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Sounds to be a vaginal infection, not associated with tubal ligation directly.

My guidelines at present

- get a swab culture done for vaginal discharge
- keep the genitals clean with antiseptic liquid
- gentian violet sitz bath 2 times a day
- get prescription of antibiotics (as 3rd generation cephalosporin or else), antifungal (as fluconazole) and other supportive medicines as per the OBGY concern.
- avoid vaginal sex at present (if active).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
