General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Julie
I share your concern
Whitish discharge is suggestive of fungal infection like candida or bacterial vaginosis

In my opinion it's not related with surgery for appendix

you should consult a gynaecologist for examination and a battery of tests like blood for Hemoglobin CBC Liver function test and blood sugar, urine culture and sensitivity and vaginal swab for KOH fixation test

you may require a course of antibiotics or antifungal drugs or vaginal pessaries

Maintain good hygiene
Have plenty of fluids which will help by flushing the urogenital tract
Have multivitamin supplements
Regards
