Hi, I'm 8 days post op for bladder sling and A and P repair. Feel like a new woman since catheter removed yesterday. Recovering well, mooching about at home, been for odd walk and generally feel really well. However, I have what can only be described as a smell along the lines of Billingsgate fish market coming from down below! I splosh as much water as possible about down there in the shower and dry as throughly as I can but as you know the stitching is tender so am limited on how much digging around to dry I can do, however I do remove some white smelly stuff ( sorry for graphic details!) . Hospital did urine dip as I mentioned it when catheter was taken out and as positive for leukocytes they have sent it off. I don't feel like I have an infection and just wondered if anyone else had this delightful experience?

Many thanks 😷 X

    YES, please do get it checked out. If it turns out not to be infection, then for piece of mind it will still be worth it. But I'm sure it is.
