Leucorrhoea refers to the abnormal and excessive vaginal
discharge often associated with other symptoms like itching . Women usually
experience a normal vaginal discharge which is a sign of a clean and healthy
vagina. This normal vaginal discharge can vary from watery clear to thick
whitish depending upon the menstrual cycle of women. At the beginning of the
cycle, this discharge is red or bloody due to the uterine shedding. When this
nears ovulation it becomes transparent ,slippery or stretchy. Following
ovulation ,it is opaque, dry and thick in consistency. Now this discharge
usually will have an odour which should not be pronounced or unpleasant. When
there is a change in this texture, odour or color of the vaginal discharge
that’s when it’s time to consult a doctor.
Changes in the texture or color can be a sign of an infection.
A white and thick discharge with a
cheese like consistency can be indicative of a vaginal yeast infection. Grey,
abundant discharge with a strong fish like odour can be due to a bacterial
infection. Yellow abundant foamy discharge
can be a sign of Trichomonas infection and
mucus purulent one can be a sign of chlamydia infection. Common symptoms of a
vaginal infection include inflammation of vagina, burning sensation,itching and
discoloration of the vaginal walls .
Ayurveda considers infections related to vagina under yoni
rogas and leucorrhoea under swethapradara. Each condition is treated according
to the dosha predominance. This is done mainly using internal medications and
some simple external therapies if at all necessary.
