Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting health care magic.

If you have thick curdy white vaginal discharge and there is constant itching inside the vagina and sometimes on the vulva, then it is likely that you are suffering from a yeast infection. Itching is an important sign for the same. If the infection is persistent then a urinary tract infection may also develop.

I would suggest you to visit your physician and get a vaginal swab smear done for culture, which would confirm or rule out any yeast infection.
