Brief Answer:
Get your ultrasound abdomen to rule out the cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your healthcare.
I have gone through your history and understand your concern.
As she had abdominal pain and vaginal discharge it could be due to fungal vaginitis ( vaginal infection).
You are having abdominal pain after c-section,so you must get your ultrasound to rule out the cause of pain.
Take some analgesic and hot fomentation for the same.
Hope found useful,feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
