Hmm: Liquid from your urethra that is not urine could be an infection. If you just had surgery your doctor should speak and examine you to determine the cause. They will likely suggest testing of your secretions and urine. Good luck

Most likely urinary: Leakage due to the pevic floor being stretched out in late term pregnancy or if you attempted vaginal delivery and failed, you could have damaged the muscles of the pelvic floor. Typically for Cesarian Section delivery a Foley catheter is placed, since epidural anesthesia would interfere with normal bladder function and walking. On occasion that can lead to urinary tract infection. Call your OB.

Ask your doctor: The doctor will want to know if the leakage occurs when you cough, sneeze or strain, or if it comes at unpredicatble times or if you have an urgency on urination and have to get to the bathroom right away. There are Kegal exercises that you can do to help strengthen you muscles that are likely to help. urological evaluation will answer all your questions
