Leucorrhoea

Leucorrhoea, also known as white discharge, is a medical term used to describe a condition where women experience a thick white or yellow coloured, sticky, foul smelling ,jelly like discharge, from the vagina. Although vaginal discharge is important for maintaining good genital health, changes in the discharge require medical attention in order to prevent infections. The main role of vaginal secretions is to expel harmful bacteria and other organisms from the body. Normal vaginal secretions are clear and odourless whereas leucorrhea is often thick and accompanied by foul odour. Leucorrhea is generally of two types, physiological and pathological. Physiological leucorrhea refers to vaginal discharge because of physical factors like excitement or nervousness.

Leucorrhoea is a universal condition experienced by women of all ages.
