Hey and thanks for your question. From your descriptions, it is most likely that you have got a yeast infections if your discharge is white, thick and cheesy like discharge. As we all know, vaginal discharge plays an important role and function in the female reproductive system.
Fluid production by glands inside the vagina and cervix can carries away dead cells and even bacteria. This will keep the vagina clean and safe by helping to prevent infection. Most of the time, vaginal discharge is perfectly physiological and normal. The amount can be different, as can odour and colour depending on the time in your menstrual cycle.
For example, there will be more discharge produced when you are ovulating, breastfeeding, or sexually active. Vaginal discharge may smell different when you are currently pregnant or you have been letting your personal hygiene decreasing. None of those mentioned before are cause for alarm.
However, if the colour, odour, or consistency seems quite different than usual, especially if you also have experiencing vaginal itching or burning, you are most likely dealing with an infection or other condition. The infections are depends on colour and other symptoms. If the colour is cloudy or yellow, it is most likely Gonorrhoea.
Of it is pinky in colour, the most likely because of the shedding of the uterine lining after childbirth. If it is white, grey or even yellow plus fishy smell, it is most likely bacterial vaginosis. Do present yourself to the nearest clinic for a further management. Good luck!
