I am 52 not quite 3 weeks postop from a cystocele repair, mid urethral sling. I previously had a total hysterectomy at 30. (Ive had no gyn infections in 20+ years - the only exception, taking antibiotics and what would start out as feeling like a yeast infection would immediately move into my urinary tract). The first week after surgery, I felt a yeast infection. PA "looked" and said no but gave rx. (Fluco?something - 1 pill normally kicks, I took 2). Ive have generally not felt well. As week 2 finishes, I noticed a horrible odor , occasional slight red tinge discharge and then some stringy came off the tp yesterday and last night I see what looks like a tampon string hanging out of my vagina. I am one that does not like to call the dr, even to ask a question. I am getting hounded by family to call as i do not see them for 6 more days. deep down i do fear there is some infection, that something is coming out, but dread more being the paranoid patient.
