Hello,
Ideally no invasive procedure is advised till there is any sort of infection going on in the body. As meniscus repair is not a emergency procedure and vaginal infections have high chances to cause urinary tract infection,better is to wait till your report becomes negative.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari
