Thank you for the query. I would like to know your age and whether you suffer from Diabetes mellitus. Since, you have a 6-month-old baby, I would also like to inquire whether it was a normal delivery or Caesarion section was required. Vaginal candidiasis (yeast) is a common condition. It can lead to severe irritation, itching and curry white discharge. Local vaginal creams for candidiasis like Clotrimazole cream must be applied. It is also necessary to maintain hygiene and keep your private parts clean and Chat Doctor. I would also advise you to go for Urine routine examination and culture, to rule out any other causes of Urinary Tract Infection. In that case oral course of antibiotics may be required (since you are lactating all classes of antibiotics cannot be used). If the problem is persistent, you should get a blood sugar profile checked and consult your gynecologist regarding the same. Hope this helps you out.
