White discharge and heavy menses
Ive been suffering from white discharge with different smell along with heavy flow of menses during periods after i got recovered from TB last year. Could it be due to those medicines or post recovery side effects? Or is it just hormonal imbalance causing changed pH?Im not able to stop it despite hormonal treatments and after taking some herbs too such as shatavari and pushyanug churna. What can help me with it exactly?

A change in discharge smell along with heavy periods after recovering from TB is more likely from a vaginal infection or a hormonal shift than from the TB medicines themselves, though a long antibiotic course can disturb your normal vaginal flora. Herbal remedies like shatavari or pushyanug churna don't treat an infection, so continuing them without a clear diagnosis explains why nothing has worked yet.
Next Steps
Get a vaginal swab test done to check for infection, and a pelvic ultrasound to look at your uterus and ovaries, since heavy bleeding that isn't settling needs a structural cause ruled out too. Please see a gynaecologist for this workup, treating the actual cause will work faster than more herbs.
Health Tips
If you soak a pad in an hour or feel dizzy and very weak, get seen urgently.
