Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
Are you having any white, foul discharge from the vagina ?
Usually there will be some pain and swelling for about a month after the surgery.
In your case the could be infection or dehiscence of the wound which needs to be ruled out.
Kindly consult your Obstetrician to rule out the sa by a thorough examination and ultrasound as necessary.
You can take over the counter pain killer like Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day for the pain.
Thanking you.

Dr. Aashish Raghu
