Leukorrhea- Treatments possible

Leukorrhea (also called Leucorrhoea) is a medical condition where a woman experiences white, thin and sticky vaginal discharge. It is also called as ‘White discharge per vagina’. Discharge from the vagina is a normal hormonal phenomenon for any women and this discharge changes according to the time of menstrual cycle. Any deviation in its color, consistency, and odor is an indication of infection and needs to be treated right away.

Discharge from the vagina is white (or clear), thin (or thick), sticky and odorless. Leukorrhea results from the mucus secreted from the walls of the cervix and vagina. It is caused by the increase in levels of hormones, especially estrogen. The presence of leukorrhea indicates that vagina is kept clean and is in healthy condition.

Some women experience leukorrhea more frequently than others. Although, leukorrhea is common and considered normal to occur; however, many women find it scary and is uncomfortable. Further, women are embarrassed to discuss this condition with their friends and doctors. Hence, leukorrhea becomes a challenge.

Vaginal discharge with a change in the color, consistency, and smell due to infections or diseases of the female reproductive system is called pathological type of leukorrhea. The discharge of yellow or green color with offensive odor is abnormal and alarming. In addition, it is often accompanied by itching, pain and swelling around labia. Pathological leukorrhea is caused by infections due to bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms. Female genitals are moist and covered for most of the time. Further, sweat in this area is common, which makes the female genitals more prone to infection and inflammation. Pathological leukorrhea requires immediate medical attention. You should immediately consult the doctors.
