Brief Answer:
Most likely due to urinary tract infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
Your symptoms are most likely due to urinary tract infection.
You have to consult your treating physician and get your urine examination and culture sensitivity test done to find out the cause.
White vaginal discharge if not associated with itching and foul smell can be a normal physiological change.
Hope found useful.
Good luck.
