Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
You have urinary tract infection (burns when urinate) following vaginal delivery and the causative organism is Klebsiella oxytoca. You have to take a course of antibiotic as per antibiotic sensitivity report (it must be attached with culture report ) for a period of 5-7 days. Before completion of the course of antibiotic you have to repeat urine routine examination and preferably culture also. Redness on inner vulva is most likely related to infection .Consult gynecologist .
