Leucorrhoea

Leucorrhoea is a thick, white, or yellowish vaginal discharge. It is the most commonly experienced condition in women of reproductive age. Women experiencing vaginal discharge, at first instance, feel very embarrassed and worried about why they are suffering from this problem. Although most women fear and think of it as a disease, it is usually a sign of infection. It is normal to experience vaginal discharge a few days before menarche (before a woman begins her period for the first time), just before periods and during sexual stimulation. Some discharge is normal and essential for vaginal lubrication. However, the discharge may increase due to vaginal infections and may come and go from time to time.

This condition can be quite embarrassing if a foul-smelling vaginal discharge characterizes it. Leucorrhoea can often point to a variety of gynaecological disorders and infertility, requiring evaluation and treatment.

Causes of Leucorrhoea

The most common conditions that may result in leucorrhoea include the following:

Pregnancy, premenstrual or menstrual periods and uterine congestion;
Infection of female genitals;
Irritation due to certain factors such as the use of chemical contraceptives, intrauterine devices, etc
Emotional causes such as stress, anxiety, work stress, and sexual anxiety;
Hormonal inconsistencies;
Dietary errors, excessive use of stimulants, e.g. tea, coffee, alcohol and smoking;
Medical conditions, such as anaemia, tuberculosis, etc.
